When Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan came
on Koffee With Karan, SRK had told that Bhatt had done too much in
her career too soon.
A famous tabloid asked Alia's Badrinath Ki Dulhania co-star, Varun
Dhawan on whether he feels that he needs to slow down too as he has also
done a lot in his career in a small span of 5 years.
Varun told, "It might sound chauvinistic, but the
Indian audience views heroes and heroines very differently. When a film
fails, the lead actor is always blamed for it. The industry, trade and the
audience does this. So, as an actor, it is very important to do roles that you
enjoy, but at the same time give the audience what they want. When you talk
about big-business films, they reach out to an entire country and there's a
reason why those heroes are managing to do that. They are not making films just
to please social media, and this is something I have been vocal about because I
strongly believe in it. What really works or doesn't is something you learn
along the way."
He spoke about his family's tough times and told, "As a
kid, I have seen my father struggle and those memories are still buried
somewhere in my head. I vividly remember the times when my dad wasn't doing
well and my mom telling me that we couldn't afford certain things, so I had to
go easy and take a backseat. I have had friends who were really rich and the
kind of environment that I grew up in, these kids were brought up slightly
differently. I am not an actor's son; I am a director's son. I am not
saying this for any sympathy.
He also spoke positively about his childhood and told,
"I had a great childhood, and I am grateful that I got to see both sides
of life. So, now, I think I need to do more, as there are so many kinds of
films that I want to do."
In the meantime, Badrinath Ki Dulhania is scheduled
to release this Friday.
