Varun Dhawan on online trolling

Talking about recent trolling on social media, Varun Dhawan recently said that he does not let these comments affect him.

He said at an event in Mumbai, as per ANI, "I believe that you shut down the noise and just let your work do the talking. Yeh sab cheezein chalti rehti hain (All these things keep happening). It doesn't really matter. Main iske liye kaam nahin karta hoon. Main jis cheez ke liye kaam karta hoon woh iss Friday ko pata chalega (I don't work for this. What I work for, you will find out this Friday).

“Mujhe film pe bharosa hai. Ek achi film banana bohot zaroori hai. Obviously, numbers and all these things don't concern me. But I believe ki humne ek achi film banayi hai (I believe in the film. It's very important to make a good film. I'm not concerned with numbers. I believe we made a good film). That's the most important thing.”

Karan Johar to Varun Dhawan

Earlier, Karan Johar, who launched Dhawan in Bollywood, called out trolls on Instagram.

Praising Varun Dhawan in Border 2, Karan wrote, "Has to be said... the reason why it's called a virtual world! Real will always score and prove the noise on social media as defunct! You can troll an artist for his smile but then he laughs when the film releases to packed houses and he receives pure authentic audience love!"

He added, “So noisemakers and clickbait seeking content creators can do what they like ... truth will always prevail!”
