October: Banita Sandhu didn’t realise what the big deal was until the trailer hit 20 million views

Banita Sandhu and Varun Dhawan want to be each others’ Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber in this sweet Twitter conversation.

Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhu are being the cutest October co-stars on Twitter and their fans are loving every bit of it. On Friday, Banita shared a clip from her interview to a Welsh news channel in which she called Varun the Justin Bieber of India. Of course, Varun didn’t mind the comparison at all.

Banita, a student at King’s College, London, was asked by ITV Welsh News about landing a big role in a Bollywood film and if her family and friends were impressed by the feat. She said that neither she nor her friends or family realise how big a deal it was until the October trailer hit 20 million views in just a day.

Banita too weighed in on the metaphor with an addition of her own. “I’ll be your Selena,” she said. However, we hope they know Selena and Beiber have called it quits on their relationship yet again.

About managing her film and studies, Banita said her main aim in life right now is to graduate. Her exams are coming up in summer while the film releases on April 13. We wonder if we’ll even see her at the film’s promotional events.
