Much like his guests making honest confessions on his television chat show, Karan Johar got Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt to make some startling revelations on the show, Date With Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. Sources say that a lot was revealed in the candid conversation between the trio as the filmmaker quizzed them about their upcoming film as well as their personal lives.

Refuting rumours of dating Alia, Varun joked that the actress has a Dubai-based boyfriend who calls her religiously every day. The two called themselves “a schizophrenic couple", as they love each other some times and hate one another at other times.

Karan even broached the topic of the actress' onscreen kisses. When asked who amongst her co-stars was the best kisser, the young star candidly stated, “I don't kiss and compare" and further rated Varun 10 on 10 as a kisser.

Not one to lag behind in confessions, Varun admitted to going shirtless often. He cheekily said, “I like to remove clothes because it's so hot in Mumbai," prompting Alia to call him “a beautiful commodity".

This episode of Date With Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania will be aired on television and released on digital media tonight.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, produced by Dharma Productions, releases July 11.
