Varun Dhawan Opens Up On Being A Nepo Kid
Varun recalled wanting to go to his dream school but when the results came, he couldn't get through. That's when the star kid asked his father-director David Dhawan to make a call to get him in.
In an interview dating back to 2018, the Badlapur actor said,
"I remember this time I was in the 10th standard when the Dhirubhai Ambani school had just opened and a lot of my friends were applying for admission. I remember telling [dad], I want to apply for this, can you make a call? The results came, and I didn't get in. I asked him, did you make the call? He said no. You weren't supposed to get it.'Also Read: Gigi Hadid Reacts To Varun Dhawan Kissing Her, Says Her Bollywood Dreams Came TrueVarun Dhawan has given us some spell-bound performances in movies like October, Badlapur, JugJugg Jeeyo, and more.
