"She always says, 'I knew it, you always have it in yourself. You just need to challenge yourself.' Now she keeps telling me, 'Don't post too much, don't show off too much, don't talk too much.' She says the same thing at home and outside. Even Sunny sir and my wife say the same thing," Varun explained with a laugh, illustrating the playful dynamic between them.
Addressing Pre-Release Trolling and Salman Khan's Support

Despite the negative comments and online backlash, Varun maintained his composure and focused entirely on delivering his best performance. During the recent media interaction, the actor disclosed that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan personally called him during this challenging period to offer encouragement and show his unwavering support.
