While the internet is still gushing over Nita’s star-studded event Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center (NMACC) Gala, the heartthrob of Bollywood awed by some reactions for his performance last night. Amidst the glitz and glamour, one performance stood out for all the wrong reasons. Varun Dhawan’s dance number created controversy as he lifted American supermodel Gigi Hadid during his performance, raising concerns among fans about consent.
In a video circulating on the internet, the Bollywood actor is seen holding Gigi’s hand and calling her on stage and kissing her on the cheek. The video quickly gained viral status on social media, with fans criticizing Varun’s actions and raising concerns about consent, respect and boundaries. While fans were baffled about the incident, Varun Dhawan cleared the air and shut down trolls for slapping him for the same.
The actor took to his Twitter handle and tweeted, “I see you woke up today and decided to wake up. Then go out and do something about things. Good morning” with folded hands emoji. Well, it would not be wrong to say that this whole incident made Gigi Hadid a bit uncomfortable and if this whole matter was pre-planned, then surely it was not executed in a perfect manner.
The Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center was inaugurated in a grand ceremony on Friday evening, where Nita Ambani herself performed on stage. Oscar winner Penelope Cruz also arrived in Mumbai for the event on Saturday and graced the pink carpet. Other top celebrities include Rekha, Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka ChopraAishwarya Rai, Kareena Kapoor, Alia BhattMaheep Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Zendaya, Tom Holland and Penelope Cruz were some of the guests attending the two-day event. The opening night saw some loud performances by celebrities last night.
