A resurfaced video from the sets of Main Tera Hero has sparked controversy, as Varun Dhawan was seen holding co-star Nargis Fakhri intimately even after the director repeatedly yelled “cut.” Netizens have since dubbed him “Creepy Dhawan.”
Varun Dhawan’s Actions Spark Backlash
Varun Dhawan and Nargis Fakhri first collaborated in the 2014 film Main Tera Hero. Despite maintaining a friendly bond and often interacting on social media, rumors of a romantic relationship between the two were dismissed by Nargis in the same year. However, a recently resurfaced behind-the-scenes clip has reignited discussions.
The video shows Varun and Nargis shooting an intimate scene. Even after the director called “cut” several times, Varun continued holding Nargis close, only letting go after multiple prompts, whistles, and even a shout of “pause.” Meanwhile, Nargis, appearing unfazed, smiled and eventually laughed when Varun released her. Rihanna’s Where Have You Been played in the background of the clip.

Netizens React to the Viral Clip
The video has drawn mixed reactions online. Many criticized Varun, calling his behavior unprofessional. One user remarked, “Creepy Dhawan. As a professional actor, he should understand boundaries. This isn’t the first time he’s crossed the line and gotten away with it.”
Others turned their criticism toward Nargis, with one commenting, “Nargis laughing like a maniac is crazy. She did something similar to Emraan Hashmi during another shoot when she ignored the director’s call to cut.” The user even linked an alleged incident involving Emraan and Nargis.
Nargis Denied Dating Rumors with Varun
In an earlier interview with PTI, Nargis dismissed rumors of dating Varun, humorously stating she was “involved with herself” and unaware of the speculation. She criticized the media for spreading false stories, citing an instance where it was reported she had partied all night with an actor she hadn’t even seen.
Varun, on the other hand, has often referred to Nargis as “one of the guys” during interviews, further dispelling any rumors of a romantic relationship.
“What? No way dude. Oh, really it’s been written? I haven’t read that. I don’t have any idea about that. People just right stuff, right. That’s hilarious.”
