He made a sensational debut with KJo's larger than life college saga Student of the Year. But in less than 3 years, this talented actor has shown that he is not just here to portray regular 'chocolate boy' roles. Be it opting for a revenge drama like Badlapur or going the Govinda way in his father's directorial venture, Main Tera Hero; actor Varun Dhawan has proved that he is here to stay. From playing a rich student, Rohan to essaying a coming of age character like Raghu, this energetic star has come a long way. As the versatile actor turns 28 today, we take a look at 5 reasons why everybody loves Varun!
Choice of films - Time and again, Varun has proved that he takes his job as an actor very seriously. His choice of films in a short span of three years speaks volumes about this. Instead of playing it safe and sticking to the same kind of roles, Varun took to experimenting and we must say, he did a fine job. Be it the fun loving Seenu or 'DDLJ ke scene pe rone wala' Humpty, we love the way Varun surprises us with his characters. And with films like ABCD 2, Dilwale and Dishoom in his kitty, we are excited to see him win more hearts already.
Being Humble - Admit it! Varun Dhawan has the biggest fan following among teenage girls. And well, we have seen it with our eyes on multiple occasions. But instead of throwing air and maintaining distance, Varun obliges all his fans with autographs, selfies, photographs and listens to all their stories quite patiently. He loves interacting with his fans, be it during city tours for film promotions or through the #AskVarun Q&A sessions on Twitter.
Dancer extraordinaire - We have a soft corner for people who can dance well and Varun Dhawan is hands down one of the best dancers in Bollywood today. His energy, impeccable footwork and flexible moves are a delight to watch. One look at him dancing on Jee Karda or Saturday, and you will know what we are talking about!
Sartorial choices - For someone who is a regular at film and fashion events, we are a fan of Varun's personal style statement. Relaxed and easy going; we love the way Varun keeps it casual and yet, makes several heads turn with his sartorial choices. You will always see Varun flaunt funky pair of kicks with denims and a smart jacket (and his signature smile). But, we are also a fan of his formal red carpet looks, where he always manages to get a thumbs up in stylish tuxedos. We also loved the way he rocked the runway during the LFW W/F 2014 finale for Manish Malhotra.
Family Boy - "My family means everything to me," a statement by Varun, given in one of our previous interviews, that truly touched our (and the readers) heart. Varun is a Daddy's boy and the perfect family man. On days when he isn't working round the clock or hanging out with friends, Varun loves spending time with his family over film conversations or better, watching multiple international films, back - to - back. He enjoys working with his father and will soon be seen acting in his brother, Rohit's next titled Dishoom.
Once again, here's wishing this powerhouse of talent a very happy birthday!
