What did Varun Dhawan say about black coffee?
During an interview on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, Varun spoke about health concerns linked to the consumption of black coffee on an empty stomach in the morning. He said starting the day with black coffee impacted his gut health, adding that switching to blonde roast coffee was good for him. He said it is easier on the stomach.

“If you get up in the morning and start with only black coffee, even if you don’t have gut trouble, you will start having it,” Varun said.
Varun gets slammed
These comments by Varun didn’t land well, with health expert Prashant Desai coming forward to school him.
Taking to Instagram, he wrote, “C’mon Varun, really? This is so not true. I have been having black coffee for 15 years now after waking up, on an empty stomach. No issues whatsoever. What is true is that everyone’s gut is different like your finger print. But to say everyone will have gut issues and acidity is not true. Varun Dhawan may have had acidity and so be it. Food is personal. What doesn’t work for someone doesn’t make it a universal truth!”
Varun took note of the criticism note and responded to him by asking for tips from him.
Summary: Varun Dhawan was called out by a health expert for discouraging black coffee in the morning but took the feedback positively, saying he’s happy to learn.
