Arjun Kapoor has confirmed that Varun Dhawan and him, both are part of a ‘We Hate Katrina Kaif club.’ No, it is not literal hatred towards Katrina but a lighthearted joke.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Arjun recently shared a funny incident that he had started a ‘We Hate Katrina Fan Club’ with Varun Dhawan. But, he clarified that it was all in good fun and not an attempt at bringing down the crowd favourite.
Origins of ‘We Hate Katrina Fan Club’
The fan club was born out of frustration not actual hatred, as explained by Arjun Kapoor during the interview. He described it as an excuse for having frustration by her direct attitude as young people. He said, “We used to have a ‘We hate Katrina fan club’ which got shut down very fast because we actually didn’t hate her. We were just upset that she used to be very straightforward with us. She used to fire us all the time; she used to not give us any importance.”
The club was said to be playful by Katrina Kaif during her visit to the show Koffee With Karan as she joked with Arjun and Varun about the fan club. It was not taken literally as a statement of dislike, but that was just another one of their lighter jokes among close friends, which the name given; as much as the name is strong, the term ‘club’ was never meant to be a big deal.

She worked really hard in the film,” said Arjun. He further added his screen presence in the film was ‘terrific’ and unforgettable.
