Bollywood’s beloved actor Varun Dhawan is back with another charming post that has left fans guessing, this time from the scenic landscapes of Scotland. Known for his playful demeanor and infectious charm, Varun has captured the hearts of many with his social media updates while shooting for his upcoming comedy film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. What started as a simple post has now become the subject of fan speculation, with many wondering whether his co-star Mrunal Thakur played a role in the sweet gesture.
The film, directed by David Dhawan, is currently in production with Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, Pooja Hegde, and Mouni Roy making the most of their two-month-long schedule in Scotland. The cast, known for their camaraderie, have been sharing snippets of their behind-the-scenes experiences, delighting fans with their fun-filled moments amidst the picturesque Scottish landscapes.
The Yellow Tulip and Fans’ Wild Theories
On May 5, 2025, Varun took to Instagram to share a heartfelt moment from his Scottish adventure. In the post, Varun can be seen receiving a beautiful yellow tulip from a woman, with the image capturing the simplicity and warmth of the gesture. While Varun kept the caption minimal, simply writing “PRESENT,” fans immediately began to speculate who might be the giver of this thoughtful flower.
The obvious connection was made to Mrunal Thakur, who has been working closely with Varun on this film. The speculation started rolling in quickly, with followers suggesting that the tulip could have been a gift from his co-star, possibly symbolizing a moment of kindness or appreciation. As the fan theories snowballed, even Mrunal herself chimed in with a playful comment.
Mrunal commented under the post, accusing Varun of “stealing” her caption idea, writing, “Someone stole my caption idea!” The playful banter between the co-stars added another layer to the charm of the post, with fans eagerly responding to the teasing exchange.
“The mystery behind the tulip continues,” one fan wrote. “Is this a subtle romance brewing on set or just another hilarious behind-the-scenes moment?”
