Star-struck Gorakhpur welcomes Alia and Varun for IGCL launch!

Alia and Varun are currently busy filming Badrinath Ki Dulhania and were recently spotted in Gorakhpur. However, the actors weren’t there for the shoot but turned up for a social cause.

The duo today inaugurated the Indian Gramin Cricket League (IGCL) in the city amid a lot of enthusiasm and warm welcome from the locals.

Alia took to Instagram to post a pic of herself along with Varun from the event and captioned it as “Today in Gorakhpur a lovely initiative called IGCL great to see the youth so charged and passionate about cricket all over. #badrinathkidulhania.”

Donning a white and black top teamed with denims and sunnies, the 23-year-old actress looked as lovely as ever.

Varun in a casual t-shirt and jeans appeared to be handsome. The 29-year-old actor was also seen addressing the crowd in a video he posted on social media.

The clip shows the Dishoom star encouraging the young generation to pursue sports and education, while we can see the star-struck crowd cheering on.

Quite a charged up crowd we must say!

Got the oppurtunity to spend some time in gorakhpur. We met a lot of talented kids. Had a lot of fun at the #igcl match. The league encourages kids to play sports rather then take up a life of crime.
