It is a known fact that Shraddha and Varun come from a filmy family and their fathers have worked together for many years. As children, Shraddha and Varun would often be accompanied with their parents on outdoor shoots. On one such schedules at a hill station, Shraddha, being all of 8 years-old, had been nursing a crush on the mischievous child Varun. She decided to profess her love to Varun. Shraddha’s proposal, however, did not go as planned.

“I was only 8-years-old and I had a crush on him so I thought I should just tell him to his face, but as soon as I began to speak I got nervous and decided to say “I love you” backwards to him. I then told Varun that I am saying a sentence backwards, so he must listen carefully. Then I said ‘You – love – I’. But it was too complicated for a little boy to digest because he gave me a stern “NO” and just ran away from there! It’s been a joke between us ever since” laughs Shraddha.

So it was déjà vu of sorts for the actress when she had to shoot a romantic song on Mount Brute in the USA with Varun. “It was a romantic song in a beautiful mountainous location and I suddenly burst out laughing when I realized what had happened the last time I professed my love to Varun on a hill.  Varun and the unit were all wondering why I got into a sudden burst of laughter.  I reminded Varun how he had ran off the last time we were together on a hill top as kids and we both had a good laugh about it. Varun’s reaction was much better this time around though,” said Shraddha.

With stunning international locales, foot-tapping music, sizzling performances, ABCD 2 stars youth sensations Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead. The actors will be seen grooving with Prabhudheva and the ace choreographer Remo D’Souza will be directing them. The film is based on the real life struggle of a Mumbai based dance troupe who go on to win the World Hip-Hop dance championship.

Varun Dhawan, who will next be seen in UK cinemas in ABCD 2, has trained hard to become lean for the film.

Varun has been trained by celebrity fitness guru Prashant who has trained Shahrukh Khan as well.

Prashant says, “When I got to know of ‘ABCD 2’ and that varun was playing  the lead, I sat down with Varun to stratergise the kind of body he wants. Remo Sir had instructed that he wanted Varun to look ripped and lean at the same time, just like a dancer’s body.”

“After Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badlapur which required different looks, achieving the cut-edge body for ABCD 2 was a challenge but varun was very dedicated to achieve his body. We religiously worked out every single day
Varun is extremely dedicated and gives his 100%; he had to train for dance twice in the day but even after that he used to workout both before and after the shoot without fail,” added Prashant.

Speaking of managing the kind of food the actor consumed during the training, Prashant said, “His diet was also monitored by us. We initially kept him on a low carb diet  but when shooting started we put him on a high carb and protein diet and eventually we got the body we were looking for. I am happy that I could deliver what was asked of me and put up with the expectations.”
