In a witty retort, Alia compared Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer, giving the dance crown to Ranbir. However, the real fireworks ignited when the spotlight fell on the chemistry of the Rocky-Rani duo when Alia humorously claimed that her chemistry with Varun Dhawan was unmatched and how the #VaRia fans would get offended if she doesn’t choose Varun, sparking playful banter with Ranveer. This endearing exchange showcased their genuine bond and added a delightful touch to their everlasting friendship, giving a glimpse into the camaraderie that makes them Bollywood's favorite duo.
