Bollywood hunks Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan dabbled in showbiz together with the Karan Johar film Student Of The Year. While we all are aware of the competitive nature of the industry, just like actresses, even two actors cannot be friends. Talking about which, after their promising debut, Sidharth and Varun are often pitted against each other. There were also rumours that they were not friends. Recently, for Koffee With Karan season 8’s 5th episode, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra reunited almost a decade after their initial collaboration in the movie Student of the Year. During the chat with host Karan Johar, they opened up about their friendship.
Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra on their friendship
During the chat KJo asked Shershaah actor, why are Varun and he not close despite being cordial ex-colleagues. Sidharth said that it is difficult for two actors to be friends unless they’ve grown up together. That being said, Sidharth claimed that it doesn’t take too long for him and Varun to get back to where they left off whenever they meet now. “Whenever we meet at a party, even recently, the first line doesn’t have to be about hi, hello, how are you, it becomes about something else,” he said.

While Varun mentioned they are not enemies and try to stay in touch. He even recalled working with Kiara in Jug Jugg Jeeyo and talking about Sid with her. “Why is it we’re not friends? We’re not enemies either. We’re always going to be bonded. It happens in films. When you work a lot with people, you just end up spending more time with that person. Your life becomes connected because of that. I think maybe me and Sid have spoken more frequently because I happened to work with his now spouse, Kiara. So, automatically the topics come up”, stated Varun. The Bhediya actor also mentioned that his family is fond of Sidharth and whenever they meet him they have a great time together.
For the unversed, both actors had also appeared together on KWK Season 4 along with Alia Bhatt, before the trio’s debut film.
Koffee With Karan streams on Disney+Hotstar every Thursday at midnight.
