The hot newbie of Bollywood who debuted with Karan Johar's 'Student of the Year' is tasting all the flavors of stardom. One of them being link-up rumours. After being linked to Alia Bhatt and Tapsee Pannu, Varun is now finding himself being linked to none other than the Aashiqui 2 girl - Shraddha Kapoor.
In an interview to Hindustan Times, Varun clarifies: "I didn’t know my love life was so talked about. All these girls are my friends, including Shraddha, the gorgeous girl, who I have known since childhood. It’s a school mentality, wherein if you’re spotted with a girl, she’s your girlfriend. It’s stupid. If people talk about me because I’m dating someone, I’d rather not be an actor. "
He concludes, "I’m focusing on my work. I want people to know me for my films and the characters I play. The girls I’m linked with are as new as me and even they are going through the same grind. We’re all friends, so we laugh about it."
