Karan Johar’s student, Varun Dhawan, isn’t dating Taapsee Pannu!

Varun Dhawan

Karan Johar’s protégé and veteran director David Dhawan’s son, Varun Dhawan, has been in the spotlight recently. The young actor has made a successful Bollywood debut with Karan Johar’s 2012 campus romance, Student of the Year, alongside Siddharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt. The actor is now journeying towards stardom, popularity and fame as he has begun working on his upcoming projects. Well, for a youngster who has quickly stepped up the ladder in B-town, a bunch of rumors pointing out his relationship status are bound to come up.

Varun has been linked up with several people before. Earlier a rumor of him dating a US-based girl had sprouted up. This however was proven untrue. Later, after the release of Karan Johar’s Student of the Year, Varun was rumored to be dating his co-star, Alia Bhatt. More recently, the youngster has been linked with southern actress Taapsee Pannu. The rumors sparked off after the handsome hunk was spotted with the actress in suburban Mumbai.

As we all know by now, these are mostly baseless rumors that spark off, making innocent friendships look like something more. Karan Johar’s debutant, Varun, seems unaffected by these dating rumors. In a previous interview, Alia Bhatt also spoke her mind about rumors as such saying, “I don’t really care about people discussing my personal life. I’m fond of Varun and Sid (Siddharth Malhotra) but no I’m not going out with either. And no, I have no boyfriend in Bandra. A boyfriend doesn’t really fit into my scheme of things right now. My boyfriend is Student of the Year.”
