Even the most successful of stars give way to envy when it comes to their competitors.

So it wasn’t really a big surprise when during the opening ceremony of the current International Indian Film Academy awards (IIFA) in Bangkok, Varun Dhawan, who currently rules the charts, took a jibe at his junior Kartik Aaryan on stage, calling out to Kartik as the ‘new star, the 100-crore hero’.

An actor present at the event says, “Outwardly Varun was being appreciative. But one could sense the stinging jibe at the rising star.”

Varun has had several Rs 100-crore hits to his credit. To make a reference to Kartik’s first Rs 100-crore film Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety was uncalled-for.

“It was almost like pointing out that the junior actor has a long way to go,” says an actor who was present there.
