Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor had a crush on each other as kids

The two are starring together in the upcoming film 'Street Dancer 3D'

In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor reveled that they shared a mutual fondness for one another as children. As the two were promoting their upcoming film Street Dancer 3D, Varun pointed out the similarities between their real life relationship and the story arc of the film

“Actually, jo humari bachpan ki story hai, woh film ki story se bohot milti-julti hai. Bachpan mein kaafi takraar hota tha, inter-school problem hota tha aur thoda-thoda chhupa hua fondness bhi tha. (Actually, our childhood story is similar to the story of the film. Initially, there were inter-school problems and rivalry but there was some hidden fondness as well),” Varun said.

Varun who has known Shraddha since he was eight, talked about how he never acted on his feelings. “I think at that age, boys don’t like girls. Bohot chhote the hum, samajh mein nahi aaya mujhe. (We were too young, I didn’t understand it,)” he said.

Shraddha reciprocated the same sentiments. “Actually, I only liked Varun,” she said pointing out that at the time she couldn't see beyond him.

“It was very pure. Agar humara love story hua bhi toh 8-9 saal ki umar mein hua tha. (If we had a love story, then it was at the age of 8-9 years old.)” When asked if the love story came to an end after that, he said, “Uske baad dosti ho gayi, bohot achchi dosti. (After that, we became friends, great friends), " Varun went on to conclude.
