THROWBACK: When Parineeti Chopra said she has 'abs because of Varun Dhawan'

As someone who has been following the glamorous world of Bollywood for years, I must say that the camaraderie and mutual admiration between Parineeti Chopra and Varun Dhawan are truly commendable. Their bond, evident from their collaborations like Jaaneman Aah, is not just limited to on-screen magic but also extends off-screen.


Back in 2016, Parineeti Chopra and Varun Dhawan teamed up for the hit promotional track “Jaaneman Aah” from the movie Dishoom. Fans adored their electrifying chemistry and stunning dance routines, while also being impressed by the actress’s toned physique, which she herself credited to Varun Dhawan.

At the 2016 unveiling of the track “Jaaneman Aah” in Mumbai, Parineeti Chopra acknowledged Varun Dhawan for inspiring her toned figure. She disclosed that she was given the opportunity for the song and dedicated time to sculpting her body, a transformation she was eager to showcase publicly.

As a committed follower, I can proudly say that my strong abs are due to Varun’s guidance. I was already working on my personal transformation when he presented me with an opportunity, which I gladly accepted. Speaking about it, I mentioned the fact. Interestingly, the actor famous for his role as Baby John shared that our aim was to replicate the energy of the 90s, and we looked up to Govinda and Karisma Kapoor as our sources of inspiration.

Apart from what’s already been mentioned, during the release of the song, she disclosed an interesting detail: her on-screen kiss in the song was not originally scripted. Instead, it was Varun who suggested they should share a kiss at the end of the song. She reminisced that this idea came up during the shooting day, when neither the film’s director nor Varun’s brother Rohit Dhawan were present.

As a seasoned observer of Bollywood, I have witnessed numerous surprising incidents behind the scenes, but this one took me aback. It seems that even the choreographer Ahmed Khan was unaware of what transpired during the filming of the kiss scene in “Amar Singh Chamkila”. The actress’s revelation left everyone stunned, and her description of the actor as energetic, spontaneous, and an improviser adds another layer to this intriguing story. It appears that the unpredictability of Bollywood is alive and well!

In terms of his work, Varun Dhawan has some thrilling upcoming projects including Citadel’s Indian adaptation titled “Citadel: Honey Bunny,” which will co-star Samantha Ruth Prabhu and is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video starting November 7, 2024. The series also features Kay Kay Menon, Sikandar Kher, and others.

Furthermore, Baby John – eagerly anticipated by many – is among his upcoming projects as well. This movie features Wamiqa Gabbi and Keerthy Suresh in the cast. The release date is set for December 25, 2024.

Meanwhile, last seen in Amar Singh Chamkila, Parineeti hasn’t announced any new project as yet.
