'I Am Not Invited To Varun Dhawan’s Wedding,' But David Dhawan’s Close Friend Pahlaj Nihalani Is Not Complaining - EXCLUSIVE
Pahlaj Nihalani says he has known Varun Dhawan since he was a little boy and is proud of his journey. He wishes him all the best as he sets forth to begin a new chapter with Natasha Dalal.
Producer Pahlaj Nihalani and director David Dhawan have collaborated on several blockbusters in the past including Shola Aur Shabnam and Aankhen. They have been close friends and associates for over 40 years.
But Pahlaj-ji is not invited for the wedding. “I’ve received no invitation. I haven’t even been told about the wedding. I’m only hearing about it from others and in the press.”
But the producer and former chairperson of the censor board refuses to be disappointed. “I wasn’t expecting any invitation.Why should I be invited? I haven’t worked with David for a long time. In this industry you are only connected as long as you work together.”
He reveals that he wasn’t invited to David Dhawan’s elder son Rohit’s wedding either. “At that time also we weren’t working together. I wasn’t invited for Rohit’s wedding. There was just one phonecall from their family a day before the wedding.”
Would Pahlajji go for Varun’s wedding if he’s invited at the last minute? “I don’t think I will, so the question doesn’t arise. I wish the couple all the best. I’ve watched Varun grow up in front of me. His success makes me proud.”
