The IIFA awards ceremony was full of entertainment, goof ups, and drama. A LOT of drama. Karan Johar, Saif Ali Khan, and Varun Dhawan took massive digs at Kangana Ranaut over the nepotism tirade.
Varun Dhawan won the best actor in a comic role award for his performance in Dishoom. While on stage, the trio had this to say,

“I’M HERE BECAUSE OF MY FATHER, SAIF IS HERE BECAUSE OF HIS MOTHER, AND VARUN IS HERE ALSO BECAUSE OF HIS FATHER. WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?”
They then chanted, “Nepotism rocks.”
However, these comments did not go down well with a lot of people and many took to Twitter to slam the three.
1. A valid point, indeed!
When the cabal of 3 gang up and ridicule one of the finest actresses, it's proof of Nepotism in Bolly. Shame on u Johar, Khan, Dhawan

2. A lot of growing up to do, according to him at least…
Nepotism doesn't rock. It sucks. And @karanjohar Saif & @Varun_dvn look like total losers mocking Kangana from the IIFA stage. Grow up.

4. Yes, would they do it?
I'd like to see the likes of Karan Johar, Saif & Varun Dhawan try their Nepotism humor when Kangana is in their presence. #IIFA

After facing severe backlash, actor Varun Dhawan took to Twitter and apologised in a couple of tweets.
I express my apology and regret .. I am extremely sorry if I have offended or hurt anyone with that act..

Performing at #NewYorkCity iifa was an amazing experience. Inspired and humbled and sorry if I let anyone down. ❤️ #onelove

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but making fun of them at an international event and taking digs at them is just not fair. While the youngest of the three has apologised, will the others follow suit? We sincerely hope they do!
