Varun Dhawan is probably not a name that a lot of people the US know but he’s fairly easy to look up since he’s quite popular in his home country and the surrounding regions since he’s been one of the most successful stars in his region for quite some time. Anyone that can be on a top 100 list in terms of wealth and influence in their area or country for so many years is obviously someone that people tend to think of as a popular character. But he’s also been one of the hottest actors in the industry for a while and as such has been given the respect and accolades that such an accomplishment seems to merit. Whether or not he’ll ever make his way over to the US to see how he’ll match up is hard to say, but where he’s at right now is where he’s thriving and it seems fair to state that he’ll continue on with what works as it might be unwise to do anything that could rock the boat so to speak.
Here are a few things about Varun that you might not have known.
10. A few of his family members are involved in show business.
This guy counts directors and actors among his family so it’s fair to state that he’s had a lot of influence, motivation, and a great example to go by when getting into the business and thriving there. When it comes down to knowing someone that can give you an in he’s definitely had an advantage, and he didn’t let it go to waste.
9. He was an assistant director prior to his acting career.
Even those that have an automatic in need to work their way up to really understand what the business is all about and what it takes to succeed. Thankfully Varun did take the time to learn and better appreciate just what’s required of an actor when he moves from one role to another.
8. Varun has also been a stage performer.
It seems wise for an actor to mix it up every now and then and do a stage play to keep things interesting and to keep themselves on their toes. Stage performances are after all a lot more crucial in that they don’t have a director to yell cut and have to be done almost perfectly on cue when the play is going.
7. He’s one of the highest paid celebrities in his country.
Some people might say that he simply knows how to work the system but that is another part of being a great actor that might not be as admirable but is still something that can’t be denied as a skill. But all in all his acting is solid enough that he’s risen to the top in a way that has been appreciated by the fans and by those cutting the checks.
6. His list of nominations and awards one is quite substantial.
You might give out an appreciative whistle when you see how many awards he’s been nominated for and how many he’s won. The guy knows how to do his job and he knows how to rack up the accolades when it comes to impressing people and getting recognized for what he does.
5. He and his brother are quite close and are always motivating one another.
In show business this seems like a big up for someone since a lot of people might have those who are there to motivate and keep them on a certain track, but family is usually best since they know each other in and out and can usually tell when a person needs a big pick me up. The fact that he and his brother are so close is great since it gives him a shoulder to lean on if he really needs someone to listen.
4. He’s a big fan of Dwayne Johnson.
Varun is a big WWE fan to be honest and obviously The Rock was one of his favorites and still is. Johnson has been a huge influence for a lot of people throughout his career and and it would seem that Varun has looked up to him for a while.
3. It’s been said that he was kind of an unruly child.
When we go back to our childhoods a lot of us might agree at this point that we weren’t the angels that some people thought we were and did and said things that were a bit controversial. But hey, we were kids, a lot of times we didn’t know better.
2. His social media presence is simply staggering.
Varun has over 21 million followers on his Instagram, and that’s JUST on his Instagram. You didn’t read that number wrong, and you can check it to verify if you want, but it means that this guy is insanely popular.
1. At this time there don’t seem to be any big controversies attached to his name.
It would seem there’s one minor one that involved him getting slapped by another actor, but to date there don’t seem to be any major issues, which is great to be honest since reading about what one celebrity did or said to another gets kind of tiring.
He’s a popular guy, that’s for certain.
