Reacting to the clip, one Reddit user said, "Honestly he is spot on with all the answers." While another noted, "It was clearly meant in a light-hearted way…nothing ‘PR expose’ level dramatic about it." "I liked all his answers too ! Even for the ladies segment, he killed it with the answers. Love that he wasn’t trying to appease anyone or be diplomatic for no reason ," said another. One user wrote, "I think being honest is not a crime, completely supporting Vijay Verma here!" "It was rapid fire yaar, why take it so seriously?" read another comment.
Some also considered the remark a compliment. "He was just appreciating, logo ne ulta hi le liya," wrote one user. " "Is it just me or does anyone else also feel this debate is very unnecessary?," said another.
Varma's Matka King, which was released recently on OTT, is a period drama set in 1960s Mumbai and explores the rise of a gambling empire.
Meanwhile, Aaryan is gearing up for the arrival of his upcoming film Naagzilla, which is slated to hit theatres in February 2027. He also has projects lined up with filmmakers Anurag Basu and Kabir Khan.
