Varun Dhawan Says He Was Insecure Of Sidharth Malhotra During Student Of The Year: 'He's Tall And Handsome...'

Actor Varun Dhawan made his Bollywood debut with Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year in 2012 alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt. However, being launched in a two-hero film wasn’t a cakewalk for Dhawan. In a recent interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Dhawan addressed his father David Dhawan’s remark that he was upset due to Malhotra during the shoot of SOTY.

Reasoning his reaction, Dhawan said, “He was tall and wide, good looking, and there were two heroes in the film. At that time, I felt that he is amazing and looks handsome, so people will only watch him. Will people even notice me or not? What if my dream only stays a dream?” A post shared by Sidharth Malhotra (@sidmalhotra) It was not just his looks that made Dhawan insecure, but the debate surrounding nepotism also acted as a factor.



“Moreover, the negativity around nepotism also started at that time. So during that time, I hadn’t planned anything before I entered the industry, I only knew that I’ve worked hard and I am deserving, but people were saying something else. The reception has not always been flowery, that’s what people feel.

But, I have had to fight that a lot. No matter what happens, I will keep fighting,” Dhawan added. A post shared by VarunDhawan (@varundvn) Therefore, Dhawan had to fight and prove his talent to the audience with his work and successful films.

Dhawan shared, “However, I had to fight it hard at that time through my performance and work. When my films started working, then that perception broke. Papa ne bhi baad mai kaam diya, par mai jitna bhi bol lu, logon ko vahi lagega.

” Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan’s latest film Baby John , directed by Kalees, hit the theatres on Wednesday. But, the film has received an underwhelming response from critics. Also featuring Keerthy Suresh, Jackie Shroff, and Wamiqa Gabbi in pivotal roles, the action-drama is a remake of Atlee’s 2016 Tamil film Theri .
