Varun Dhawan is gearing up to feature as a panelist on the next episode of ‘India’s Got Latent Season 2’. During the show, fellow panelist and comedian Nishant Tanwar playfully jabbed at Varun’s acting. Varun then turned the tables, calling Samay Raina onto the stage and asking him to perform instead. Samay hilariously dodged the request, saying, “Are, maine nahi bola tha yaar.” Fans were thrilled to see Varun on the show, with many noting he’s the latest big Bollywood name to appear following Alia Bhatt.
