Fans React as Khabib Nurmagomedov Appears to Ignore Varun Dhawan\u2019s Selfie Request.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Well, this is awkward, or is it? A new video from the UFC 321 event in Abu Dhabi has everyone talking after fans spotted Bollywood star Varun Dhawan trying to greet (and possibly snap a selfie with) none other than former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. What followed was a few seconds of polite smiles, a quick handshake\u2026 and then Khabib walking away \u2014 sparking a full-blown internet debate about whether the MMA legend just brushed Varun off!<\/p>\n

Varun\u2019s Short And Sweet Interaction With Khabib<\/strong><\/p>\n

Varun, who attended the UFC 321 event with his Bhediya co-star Kriti Sanon, was seen in a viral clip making his way towards Khabib, who was surrounded by fans taking selfies. After Khabib hugged another guest, he turned to greet Varun with a handshake. The actor said something to him, to which Khabib replied briefly before Varun smiled and stepped back. Khabib then posed for a quick photo with someone else and left the spot.<\/p>\n

Internet Reacts<\/strong><\/p>\n

The video was shared online with the caption, \u201cKhabib really declined a picture with a Bollywood actor,” and that was all it took for the internet to explode. Some users claimed Khabib had refused Varun\u2019s request for a picture, while others insisted it was simply a friendly exchange.<\/p>\n

One user wrote, \u201cHe doesn\u2019t know him, it\u2019s simple,” while another added, \u201cHe didn\u2019t refuse it, he just doesn\u2019t know who he is.” Many came to Varun\u2019s defence, saying he didn\u2019t even ask for a selfie in the first place. \u201cCan clearly see he met Varun, so it\u2019s a great achievement for him. Don\u2019t just post nonsense,” commented a fan. Another said, \u201cStop making your imaginary false allegations \u2014 Varun was just there to shake hands.”<\/p>\n

Varun\u2019s Own Take On The UFC Night<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unbothered by the chatter, Varun seemed to have had a blast at the event. He shared pictures and clips from the evening on Instagram, writing, \u201cHabibi. A fantastic night at the fights, UFC 321.” He also thanked his hosts in his Stories: \u201cThank you to his excellency @salgeziry for the incredible hospitality and the crazy UFC card. See you soon.”<\/p>\n

On The Work Front<\/strong><\/p>\n

Varun was last seen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari alongside Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the film released on October 2. Up next, he\u2019ll be seen in Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh, also starring Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, and Sonam Bajwa. The film hits theatres on January 22, 2026<\/p>\n
