When Varun Dhawan reacted to heavy trolling
Earlier, the JugJugg Jeeyo actor reacted to the incessant criticism and unnecessary flak by netizens at the Braves Of The Soil tribute trailer launch for Border 2. At the event, he shared that he believes in letting his work do the talking rather than responding to the criticism.

“I believe that you shut down the noise and just let your work do the talking. Yeh sab cheezein chalti rehti hai (All these keep happening). It doesn’t really matter. Main iske liye kaam karta hoon. Main jis cheeze k liye kaam karta hoon woh iss Friday ko pata chalega (I don’t work for this. What I work for, you will get to know this Friday)," Varun said.
He further shared, “Mujhe film pe bharosa hai. Ek achi film banana bohut important hai. Obviously, numbers yeh sab cheezein mera kuch lena dena nahi hai isse. But I believe ki humne ek achi film banayi hai (I believe in the film. It’s very important to make a good film. I’m not concerned with numbers. I believe we made a good film. That’s the most important thing.")
He further emphasised how audiences only care about being entertained once they step inside the theatres.
“Log jab theatre mein jaate hai, sab bhool jaate hai (When people go to theatres, they forget everything). They want to be entertained; that’s it. Aur kuch maine nahi rakha hai. Main use school se aata hoon jaaha aapka kaam bolta hai (Nothing else matters. I come from the school where a person’s work speaks), Varun concluded.
