WWE Superstar and Mr Monster in the Bank, Braun Strowman arrived in India as part of his promotional tour for WWE on Thursday. While fans are excited to get a glimpse of the ‘Monster Among Men’, Bollywood superstar Varun Dhawan made it a point to meet the giant on Friday. Dhawan, who is a self-admitted WWE fan, met Strowman in Mumbai and shared a photo captioning – “Braun Strowman ‘The monster’ and me get into a flexing contest. Great guy had a lot of fun meeting him thank you WWE for setting it up.” In a rare moment, both the men were inside a gym where they had an interaction and even struck a D-Generation X signature pose together. This is not the first time that Dhawan has bonded with a WWE wrestler. Earlier, during WWE’s visit to New Delhi, Dhawan had entered the ring during the live show and cut a short promo. He is also well known for impersonating mike skills of several WWE wrestlers.
