Mumbai, Oct 13 (IANS) Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan penned a lovely birthday post for her ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ co-star Pooja Hegde as she turned a year older on Tuesday.
Varun took to the Stories section of his official handle and uploaded a picture of himself posing with Pooja in the middle of the water.

Last year, Varun wished his co-star with another hilarious post that read, “Happy bday pooja ji please share ur beauty hacks @hegdepooja and stop being mean to society.”

When the ‘Bhediya’ actor asked the makeup artist what techniques they are using, Pooja replied, “It’s a secret. We can’t tell you”.

Mouni Roy, Kubbra Sait, Maniesh Paul, Rohit Saraf, Rajeev Khandelwal, Nitish Nirmal, and Sreeleela were also seen playing ancillary roles in the laughter ride, along with others.
Made under the direction of David Dhawan, the drama has been backed by Ramesh Taurani under the banner Tips Films and co-produced by Gaurav Bose of Maximilian Films.
Released on 5 June 2026, ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ is believed to be David Dhawan’s last directorial.
