Later, Varun Dhawan finally broke the silence after receiving criticism. He Issued a response to a now-deleted tweet that accused him of kissing Gigi Hadid without her . In his reply, the actor suggested that the tweet was misguided and that the incident had been planned in advance. He also urged the individual to focus their energy on more productive pursuits rather than venting on Twitter.
I guess today you woke up and decided to be woke. So lemme burst ur bubble and tell u it was planned for her to be on stage so find a new Twitter cause to vent about rather then going out and doing something about things . Good morning ???? https://t.co/9O7Hg43y0S
