Varun Dhawan is once again in the middle of a social media debate. This time, it is linked to Border 2 and its newly released song “Ghar Kab Aaoge”. While the song received strong emotional reactions from many fans, a section of social media users questioned Varun’s acting and expressions.
Soon after the song dropped, criticism began to trend online. Some users said his expressions felt exaggerated. Others openly mocked his acting skills. As the discussion grew, Varun chose not to stay silent.
Varun Dhawan Hits Back At Troll For Criticising His Acting
On Wednesday, the actor took to Instagram to thank fans for their support. He shared several pictures from Border 2, dressed as his character from the film. Along with the images, Varun wrote, “Major Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya. Thank you for the love.” The post quickly gained attention and drew heavy engagement.
One user directly asked Varun about the criticism around his acting. The comment read, “Bhai apka acting pe sawal utha raha hai log uske liyeee kya bolega (Bro, people are raising questions on your acting skills. What would you say about that?)”
Varun replied without sounding defensive. He wrote, “@sahjaan_18 yehi sawaal ne gaana hit karadi sab enjoy kar rahe hain rab di mehar.” (This question made the song a hit. Everyone is enjoying it. God is great.) His response was soon shared widely across platforms and sparked fresh reactions.
Many fans appreciated his calm reply. One user commented, “He’s just being really humble.” Others were not convinced and continued trolling.

“Song to phele hi hit tha.”
“Gaana v hum fir se purane wale sun rahe he apke acting ke liye.”

Varun Dhawan has often faced similar criticism in the past. Many viewers feel he tends to overact in loud, high-energy roles. His comic performances are often labelled exaggerated. Some critics believe he tries to follow the style of actors like Govinda or Salman Khan, which affects his unique screen identity.
At the same time, his serious roles have earned respect. Films like Badlapur and October showcased a quieter and more controlled side of Varun. Those performances were praised by both critics and audiences. However, his recent commercial films have again placed him under heavy online scrutiny. For many viewers today, emotional depth matters more than dramatic expressions.
