Dhawan is usually quiet on any controversies but this time, he went on to almost immediately address this ongoing saga. He took to Twitter to hit out at the backlash directed at him. His tweet read, "I guess today you woke up and decided to be woke. So lemme burst ur bubble and tell u it was planned for her to be on stage so find a new Twitter cause to vent about rather then going out and doing something about things . Good morning"-

The actor was also in central focus for the right reason where he shared the stage with megastar Shah Rukh Khan and Ranveer Singh for a performance at the same event.

On the workfront, Dhawan will be seen in the web series, Citadel opposite Samantha Ruth Prabhu on Amazon Prime Video.
