Following a promotional event for his new movie 'Bawaal,' Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan is currently dealing with a social media storm. Varun bit his co-star Janhvi Kapoor's ear during the event in question in a lighthearted manner, which drew harsh criticism from online users.
Many internet commenters expressed similar worries, accusing Dhawan of being overly affectionate with his female co-stars and challenging the tendency of the profession to ignore such behaviour. The event has spurred a discussion about the limits of on-screen friendship and actors' duties to uphold a courteous workplace.
Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor engaged in what was supposed to be a humorous moment during a promotional event for the eagerly awaited movie 'Bawaal.'

The incident was recorded on camera and soon spread across several social media sites, sparking a wave of criticism of the actor.
The acts of Dhawan were swiftly met with criticism from online users, many of whom said that such conduct supports a culture of harassment and objectification. Critics stressed the value of upholding limits both on and off-screen and the need for performers to have restraint, particularly when acting towards their female co-stars.
