Varun Dhawan recently shared an incident from the past which changed his life. In a recent interaction, the actor stated that he was close to his driver who died in his arms a few years ago. He further mentioned that his death affected him badly. Varun also said that after this incident he started reading holy scriptures including Bhagwat Geeta, Ramayan and Mahabharata. He also highlighted Baby John has been releasing after two years since his past release.
In an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia for his YouTube channel, Varun said “For the longest time, I was living in a bubble. There is a Varun Dhawan before and after 35. I used to see myself in an idealistic way—that I’m a hero, and I can save the day because I literally play a hero onscreen. But on that day, I failed myself.”
He continued, “I was very close to Manoj, who was my driver for many years. He passed suddenly while we were working. I did CPR. We took him to Lilavati Hospital and we got him there on time. It was like we saved someone’s life. But he passed away in my arms. It was hard to see how casual was his passing. It just happened like that.”
“If you see my work also became less. I am having a release after two years. Baby John is releasing in theatres after two years. It definitely hit me hard. I realized you have to move forward as a human being. These incidents shake you, but you can’t stay stagnant. I began reading the Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata, and Ramayana just randomly because I had so many questions,” he added.
Baby John is set to be released in theatres on December 25, 2024. The movie also features Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jackie Shroff, Sheeba Chaddha, Gautham Vasudev Menon and Sha Ra in key roles. It has been directed by Kalees. Salman Khan made a special appearance in Baby John.
