At the Prime Video event hosted in Mumbai earlier this week, Karan Johar was the host. As Karan Johar introduced Varun Dhawan's new project Citadel Honey Bunny on the stage, the actor touched Karan Johar's feet and his expressions were too good to miss. Karan Johar, on his Instagram story, shared a picture of the moment and he wrote, "Varun Dhawan seeking my "blessings"... My expression in deep denial of my age. Varun, you are my friend yaar. Baap mat bana mujhe (Mere andar ka wanna be Gen Z jaag gaya)." Varun Dhawan, responding to Karan Johar's post, wrote, "You seek blessings of those who you love and have deep admiration for. I know you are just 21."
