Was Varun Dhawan’s selfie request ignored by former UFC champion Khabib?

Actors Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon attended the UFC 321 event in Abu Dhabi. Now a video has emerged on social media platforms in which Varun is seen approaching former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

In the clip, posted on Instagram, several people gathered around Khabib. A few of them also clicked selfies. Next, Varun was seen walking towards Khabib. After hugging a person, he shook hands with Varun. The actor asked him something, and after Khabib responded, he nodded his head and stepped back. After that, Khabib briefly posed for a photo with another person and left quickly.

The words on the video read, "Khabib really declined a picture with a Bollywood actor." The caption read, "Khabib refused to take a picture with an Indian actor Varun Dhawan." Reacting to the video, a person said, "He doesn't know him, it's simple." "He didn't refuse it, he just doesn't know who he is," a fan wrote.

A few people defended Varun. A comment read, "The pleasure people get from someone's insult. Wonder how deep the insecurity runs." A person wrote, “Can clearly see he met Varun, so it's a great achievement for him. Don't just post nonsense, and Varun didn't ask for a selfie.” Another comment read, “Stop making your imaginary false allegations — Varun was just there to shake hands.” “He shook his hand and treated him with respect,” said a fan.
