Varun Dhawan Shares Sweet Photos of ‘Devis’ at Ashtami Kanya Pujan

Varun Dhawan Celebrates Durga Ashtami

Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan recently shared heartwarming images on Instagram from his celebration of Durga Ashtami. This festival, which many across India observe, saw Varun invite young kids for the Kanya Pujan at his home.

Social Media Reactions

The images captured Varun sitting with five girls and one boy, as they shared a meal. However, criticism arose because while the children were served food on paper plates, Varun used steel ones. In his post, he wrote, “दुर्गा अष्टमी की शुभकामनाएं #bestmeal.”

Some followers questioned the choice of plates for the children, suggesting it showed a disparity. Comments included, “Why do the kids have paper plates?” and “It’s not fair for the kids to eat from plastic.”

Defending the Actor

Despite the backlash, numerous fans quickly jumped to Varun’s defense. Many pointed out that his choice was not a reflection of neglect but a practical decision. Comments like “Kids often don’t finish their meals, so paper plates are sometimes used” echoed this sentiment.

One supporter remarked, “It’s more beautiful to sit with kids and eat from the heart. There’s no need for such criticism.” Another noted that disposable plates are commonly used for convenience during gatherings.

Significance of Ashtami

Ashtami marks an important day in the ongoing Navratri festival, which began on September 22 and concludes with Dusshera on October 2. Varun’s forthcoming film, “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari,” is set to release this Friday.
