“Stree 2” actress Shraddha Kapoor has revealed that she once had a crush on Bollywood star Varun Dhawan when they were just kids.
The “Badlapur” actor appeared in an extended cameo in ‘Stree 2’ co-starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao.
Talking about Varun Dhawan’s cameo during a recent podcast with an Indian YouTuber, the “Aashiqui 2” actress recalled the time when she proposed to the actor as an eight-year-old.
“It’s an old story that a lot of people already know about. Varun rejected my proposal. It’s funny to think about. We had joined our dad during one of their shoots. As a kid, I had a small crush on Varun. While we were playing, we reached the top of a mountain. I said, ‘Varun, I will say something in reverse and you’ll have to figure it out.’ So I said, ‘You love I.’ He replied, ‘I don’t like girls.’ Then he ran away,” the Bollywood star said.
Shraddha Kapoor and Varun Dhawan have starred in “ABCD 2” and “Street Dancer 3D”, directed by Remo D’Souza.
They were reunited on-screen following the ‘Badlapur’ actor’s cameo in ‘Stree 2’ as “Bhediya”.
