Simran posted a Reel explaining that she and her friend were approached by two individuals at Rajiv Chowk Metro. She details, \u201cTwo people stopped us and said a Varun Dhawan film teaser had been released. Can you please review it? I told them I hadn\u2019t watched it yet. The guy said, it\u2019s okay, we\u2019ll tell you what to say. I questioned how it could be a review if they tell us what to say? The girl tried to reason that it\u2019s because I hadn\u2019t watched it yet. But if you want a genuine review, take it from those who have watched it.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then claims that the woman who had approached her insisted that she watch the teaser then. \u201cThe girl insisted that I watch it then. I said it was getting late and I needed to be somewhere. Accha niklo niklo! Jao jao. (Okay, fine, just leave) I was like, bhai, Varun Dhawan ke itne bure din aagaye kya ki usko fake reviews lene pad rahe hai? (Is Varun Dhawan<\/a> going through such bad times that he needs to fake reviews?) What the hell?\u201d claimed Simran.<\/p>\n

Varun Dhawan responds to claims, says she\u2019s doing it for views<\/p>\n

Varun commented under her Reel, writing, \u201cHope you get the views you really want with this video (claps emoji).\u201d Simran responded, \u201c@varundvn Sir with due respect I don’t need to do these kinds of things for views. I already am satisfied with my numbers\u2026\u201d She also re-shared his comment on her Instagram Stories, reiterating, \u201cWith due respect I’m already getting good views and Tbh I’m satisfied with my numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cSecondly if I needed attention I should have posted it on my feed but it was a trial reel. And this actually happened with us. Also you should definitely once check with your pr team kyuki isse aapki hi image p farak padd rha h. (because it\u2019s affecting your image).\u201d She also posted a screenshot of another comment he seems to have deleted that read: \u201cFirst of all ma’am u have convinced urself that someone who has come and asked u has asked u because I sent them to u all this for views.\u201d Posting it she wrote, \u201cWoh sab toh thik h lekin aapne comment delete kyu kiya (All this is fine but why did you delete this comment?)\u201d<\/p>\n

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai<\/a> is directed by David Dhawan and stars Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in lead roles.
