Varun Dhawan knows exactly how the Internet works, and instead of fighting it, he is laughing along. The actor, who has recently found himself at the centre of discussion, especially over his performance
in the song Ghar Kab Aaoge, followed by his now-viral smile, has chosen humour over outrage. During a recent interaction with fans, the actor turned the joke into a moment fans can’t stop talking about.
On Wednesday, Varun went live on Instagram while travelling to the Karwar Naval Base for promotions of his upcoming film Border 2. He was joined by singer Vishal Mishra and the mood was anything but serious. After greeting fans, Varun looked at Vishal and said, “I know my smile is trending.” He then flashed the now-famous grin, instantly sending viewers into a frenzy.

As Vishal burst out laughing, Varun encouraged him to try copying it and even turned it into a tutorial. Varun explained, “Give a full smile and drop your smile from one side.” Vishal followed the instructions, and within seconds, both of them were laughing uncontrollably. Varun later added that he was happy “the whole of India was smiling” along with him.
When Varun Dhawan Responded To Fan
This isn’t the first time Varun has handled criticism with wit. Recently, a netizen questioned his acting abilities in the comments section, writing, “Bhai aapki acting pe sawaal utha raha hai log, uske liye kya bolega?” Varun responded playfully, “Yehi sawaal ne gaana hit kara diya. Sab enjoy kar rahe hain- rab di mehar.”
Earlier, during an Ask Me Anything session, a fan slammed Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, calling it “pathetic” and questioning Varun’s career choices. The comment read, “Bhai, aren’t you serious about your comeback? Stop doing pathetic movies like SSKTK in the name of versatility.” Varun’s reply was cheeky yet confident. He said, “Chalo, film phir bhi thodi chal gayi. Aap theatre jaate rehna. Main Border 2 might surprise you, since your taste is amazing.”
