Varun Dhawan Trolled for ‘Out-of-Sync’ Lip-Syncing at Karan Aujla’s Concert; Fans Joke, ‘Vicky Kaushal Was the Better Choice!’

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] December 17 : Varun Dhawan, a Bollywood actor, is making news yet again, but not for his slick dancing routines or impending ventures. Instead, the actor is under fire for his less-than-perfect lip-syncing at Karan Aujla's highly awaited concert, It Was All A Dream, held last weekend in Gurugram. While the evening was filled with spectacular performances, Varun's appearance stole the show, unfortunately for the wrong reasons. 

The Viral Moment

Karan Aujla, the Indo-Canadian music phenomenon renowned for hits like Jee Ni Lagda and Players, rocked the crowd with his live performance. To add to the excitement, Bollywood superstar Varun Dhawan made a surprise cameo. The actor, who is presently promoting his forthcoming film Baby John, joined Aujla on stage to dance with the celebrity singer. However, in a now-viral video, Varun can be seen attempting to sing along to Karan's chartbuster Jee Ni Lagda, only to appear to stumble over the words.

As Karan excitedly screamed out the song with his arm over Varun's shoulder, the actor's lip movements seemed uneven and out of rhythm. The error was quickly noticed on social media, and netizens, as usual, did not hold back.

Social Media Frenzy

The popular video's comment area devolved into a scathing rant. One person connected Varun's performance to a familiar college setting, saying, "That's me in a group viva when I don't know the answers ????." Another person mocked Varun's 2022 film Bhediya, writing, "Bro was singing in Bhediya language ????."

The trolling did not end there. Fans of Karan Aujla also included Vicky Kaushal in the mix. For perspective, Vicky Kaushal already shown his natural swag in Aujla's smash song Tauba Tauba from the film Bad Newz, winning widespread accolades for his easy attitude. One commenter suggested that Karan should have invited Vicky Kaushal instead. ????. Another sarcastic remark made fun of the notorious conflict between Karan Aujla and late singer Sidhu Moosewala: "Varun b Sidhu da fan niklya ????."

The Internet reacts

The outpouring of comments varied from snarky barbs to downright memes. A few admirers supported Varun, pointing out that his enthusiasm and mood were on track, even if his lip-syncing was off. Others stated that Bollywood stars should not perform on live music platforms if they are unfamiliar with the tunes. One response summed up the mayhem perfectly: "Varun, you're fantastic at movies. Let's leave the concerts to the professionals."

The Bigger Picture

Despite the trolling, the general mood at Aujla's show was fantastic. Fans had something to rejoice about, as rapper Badshah also appeared for a Players performance. Varun Dhawan seemed to be unfazed by the internet talk. The actor is now promoting his highly anticipated action thriller, Baby John, which will be released on December 25. The film, directed by Atlee and starring Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi, is Varun's return to gritty, high-octane cinema.

Conclusion: Vibes over vocals

While Varun’s lip-syncing hiccup gave trolls plenty of fodder, it’s safe to say the actor brought undeniable energy to the stage. Whether planned or not, his surprising presence with Karan Aujla has only fueled the excitement around the singer's tour. Fans will just have to wait and see if Varun gets another shot at redemption—or if next time, as many users suggested, Karan picks his buddy Vicky Kaushal instead.

For now, social media remains undefeated, and Varun joins the growing list of Bollywood stars who’ve been caught in the crosshairs of internet humor.
