Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra are all set to add a touch of epic reunion to the Koffee with Karan couch. And it looks like Karan Johar is all geared up to spill some of the unheard secrets about his students.
As we all know that both Sidharth and Varun made their debut in the 2021 movie Student Of The Year. The movie also featured Alia Bhatt in the lead. But Karan made a shocking revelation on his popular chat show that both the actors initially did not want Alia to be cast in the film.
During the conversation, Karan said both Sidharth and Varun sent him messages to not cast Alia and one of them had even said that she was too young. “I still remember with Alia, the first time that she walked in, how both of you actually sent me messages saying you can’t cast her. One of you said she is too young. I am saying it started like this but when we shot with her, 3 months post that for a photoshoot, I remember she stood quiet and didn’t look at either of you. Either she was conscious or shy, because you all already knew me. She didn’t know me at all. We did the photoshoot and right after that, I mean I knew at the first shot,” Karan said.

While Sidharth denied sending any such message, Karan asked him to stop pretending that they didn’t and said that both the actors kept sending him images of other girls.
Sidharth then praised Alia and said, “But see, that was what was wonderful, that she was the underdog within the underdogs here already, then she emerged.”

Meanwhile, during the course of the episode, Alia makes a visual appearance and says that sid is so hilarious that he goes off to sleep at his own birthday party.

She said, “Sid is actually a really good singer. He is a very healthy person, so he doesnt party at all, but he is the best person to get a party started, so this is the inherent punjabi in him. He just knows how to get people going, he’s really good. Also, he is really hilarious, he is the first person to fall asleep at his own birthday party.”
“Sid takes a while to open up, so there is a distance, says hi hello, very chivalrous, very well mannered, that’s generally how he is. The basic thing is that he has got very warm and kind eyes. That is also why he has such a massive fan following. I am very thankful to Sid, because he has given me the first love of my life, Edward,” she added.
