The energy in Ahmedabad is soaring as Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan brought a new level of excitement to the city's Garba festivities. Dhawan, along with the cast of the upcoming film "Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi Kumari," including Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, and Manish Paul, visited Ahmedabad to promote their film amidst the Navratri celebrations.
The stars were seen enjoying the traditional Garba dance, much to the delight of the Ahmedabad crowd. A video circulating online captures Dhawan and Kapoor dancing to the beat of the music. The cast arrived in traditional attire, adding to the festive atmosphere. Sanya and Janhvi wore traditional Chaniya Cholis, while Varun, Rohit and Manish sported traditional kurtas.
Adding a special touch to the celebrations, Varun Dhawan was heard saying "Hum Tane Prema Karum Chum" to Janhvi Kapoor and Sanya Malhotra. This Gujarati phrase, meaning "I love you," further amplified the festive spirit and connected with the local audience.
The promotional tour coincides with the release of the romantic track "Tu Hai Meri" from "Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi Kumari," featuring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor. The song portrays Varun expressing his feelings for Janhvi, while her ex, played by Rohit Saraf, looks on with jealousy.
Varun Dhawan's connection with Ahmedabad goes beyond this recent visit. In December 2024, while promoting "Baby John," he savored a Gujarati thali and visited the Atal Bridge. He shared his experience on Instagram, expressing his enjoyment of the local cuisine. In the past, Dhawan has also expressed his fondness for Gujarati food and culture, further solidifying his connection with the city.
Navratri in Ahmedabad is a grand affair, with people celebrating with Garba and Dandiya. Various venues across the city host Garba events, with traditional attire being a common sight. Ahmedabad is known as the "world capital of Garba" and is famous for its nine nights of celebrations.
