Varun Dhawan shares his thoughts over link-up rumours with Alia Bhatt

Since the two made their debut together with ‘Student Of The Year’, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt get romantically linked to each other quite frequently. Gossip mongers leave no opportunity to spread the false stories about their “bonding” and at times, it does affect their personal life too. For long, we have known that Varun has his eyes set for his girlfriend Natasha Dalal while Alia is all heart for Sidharth Malhotra. So why do Varun and Alia get linked to each other? Even during the shooting of ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’, reports had it that something is brewing between the two. Well, Varun has shed some light on this topic. In his recent interview with Hindustan Times, he has shared how all of these rumours have affected him.

“Yes, it was very upsetting for me too. And it’s purely due to the fact that Alia and I were working extremely hard on the film. We were conscious about the fact that we were pairing up for the third time, and so, we were like, ‘we should do something novel and unique’,” he stated.

When asked whether it brings about any change in their equation, Varun quipped, “It’s all good (between me and Alia). Alia and I have worked together (in multiple films), and we enjoy working with one another. I did my first film with her and we recently shot our third film together (‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’). So, it’s all nice and it’s always lovely working with her. People enjoy watching us together, which is the most important thing. At the end of the day, Alia is a friend of mine.”
