Varun Tej's dumb moment on Nagarjuna's MEK!

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt has a competitor in Tollywood and it's none other than Varun Tej, the new actor from the mega family. He recently appeared on the Telugu version of Kaun Banega Crorepati which is hosted by Akkineni Nagarjuna. The show is titled Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu (MEK). Varun received a warm reception on the show. However, his happiness was shortlived as Nag stumped him with his simple question. When Nag asked him Which God's name is Mukunda (the name of Varun's upcoming film), the actor was at a loss for words. He couldn't even pick Krishna's name from the options and sought the help of director Srikanth Addala. That's when his dad Nagababu said "This is why you should have listened when I talk about Mahabharata and Ramayana."

Wonder how Varun couldn't answer such a simple question at least given that his next movie is named Mukunda. Wouldn't you care to find out the meaning?

This reminds us Alia Bhatt who goofed up on Karan Johar's chat show.
