How did Varun Dhawan break free from the shadow of his filmmaker father, David Dhawan?

Varun Dhawan, often hailed as one of the most promising actors of his generation, has had a career marked by his versatility and his ability to connect with audiences across genres. Despite being born into a filmi family, with his father being veteran filmmaker David Dhawan, Varun faced his fair share of struggles on his path to stardom. His initial foray into Bollywood with films like “Student of the Year” and “Main Tera Hero” earned him praise for his performances but failed to establish him as a bankable star. However, it was his portrayal of the quintessential romantic hero in films like “Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania” and “Badrinath Ki Dulhania” that catapulted him to overnight fame, earning him the title of “Varun Dhawan” from his legions of fans. Despite subsequent setbacks in his career, including a string of box office flops and personal controversies, Varun’s charm and screen presence have remained undiminished. His ability to seamlessly transition between light-hearted comedies and intense dramas have earned him accolades from critics and audiences alike, making him one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars.
