Varun Dhawan is currently on a promotional spree for his upcoming Christmas release Baby John. The actor was recently seen on YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast and during the conversation he spoke about how consuming black coffee on an empty stomach affected his gut. When Ranveer admitted to starting his day with a black coffee, Varun advised him not to do so. Later, he specified that everyone might not face the same issues.
However, Varun’s comments didn’t sit well with health expert Prashant Desai, who shared a clip from the podcast on his Instagram stories and wrote, “C’mon Varun, really? This is so not true. I have been having black coffee for 15 years now after waking up, on an empty stomach. No issues whatsoever. What is true is that everyone’s gut is different like your finger print. But to say everyone will have gut issues and acidity is not true. Varun Dhawan may have had acidity and so be it. Food is personal. What doesn’t work for someone doesn’t make it a universal truth!”
The October (2018) actor responded to the comment and wrote on his Instagram story, “That’s totally true it didn’t work for me I’m glad it hasn’t affected you and you are healthy and super fit. I did say it’s not one size fits all if u hear ahead I’m glad you can use me as an example to educate people sir but please gimme some tips also then always happy to learn from an expert.”
On the work front, Varun’s upcoming actioner Baby John is releasing on December 25. The film also stars Jackie Shroff, Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi. Varun also has Border 2 in the pipeline.
