Veteran Actor Varun Embraces Fatherly Roles, Finds Them More Fulfilling

As of October 13th, 2025, veteran actor Varun is currently starring in the TV show "Itti Si Khushi". In a recent interview, Varun has revealed that he has embraced playing father roles, finding them more fulfilling than his earlier "chocolate-boy" parts.

The actor, who has previously played father characters in shows like "Mere Dad Ki Dulhan" and "Korra", believes that the variety of these roles has never limited him. "Romantic heroes are also stereotypes," he explains. "Yes, I have played a father, but all the characters were completely different from each other. And, at the end of the day, it's the role that matters, not the tag."

Varun further emphasizes that he actually enjoys these father roles much more than the "chocolate-boy" parts he played when he was younger. The actor also doesn't feel the need to dye his hair or try to look younger, stating, "I don't really feel the need to dye my hair or try to look younger than I am. Not that I'm old, but for me it's all about the role I play."

Varun's approach to acting prioritizes meaningful characters over lengthy screen time. As he says, "If it is meaningful, even one scene is enough to register yourself. There are times when you do look at the length of the role, but in this one, I knew the screen time wasn't much. Still, I felt the scenes had something to offer -- and it worked."
