Madame Tussauds's wax figure was a dream as a child: Varun Dhawan

Varun Dhawan is the youngest name from Bollywood to have a
wax figure at Hong Kong's Madame Tussauds. The actor says this was one dream
that he has always had since childhood and he is happy to see that it is coming
true now.
"It is a massive honour. It's a kind of love and
appreciation that I am getting my figure at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. Also, I
am the youngest actor in the attraction. That is a massive honour. I am
definitely excited as I got my parents and sister to travel with me to see this.
"This was a big dream for me as a child. I always dreamt about this, and
today it is coming true," Varun told IANS.
The actor, who made his
Bollywood debut with Karan Johar's "Student of the Year" along with Alia Bhatt
and Sidharth Malhotra, went on to feature in films like "Main Tera Hero",
"Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania", "Badlapur", "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" and "Judwaa 2".
His next projects are "October" and "Sui Dhaaga".
Talking about how
he keeps his calm after experiencing stardom at such a young age, Varun, son of
filmmaker David Dhawan, said: "I never actually prepared for stardom or deal
with it.
"The most important thing is that I want to be an actor, I want
to be on screens and do films and I am getting to do that. And today being an
actor doesn't only mean that you are being an actor in one country because of
other digital mediums. Audiences are all over the world as everyone can enjoy
your song/films online," he said.
But does becoming a celebrity at such a
young age make him want more or is he content with the way his career is shaping
up?
"I'm not content yet. I would like to explore what it is and I want
to do more. I feel like there is much more that I can do. There are so many new
and different things that I can explore. I'm excited now as it is a new field,
starting with my new film 'October'. So currently, I'm trying to do something
new," he said.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar, "October" will launch a new
face Banita Sandhu.
Varun said: "First of all, 'October' is not a cliched
love story, which is very new for this generation. I'm not going to say it's a
happy love story or a sad love story, but it is something very new and something
I want to do," Varun said.
On his chemistry with Banita, Varun said she
holds a very special place in his heart.
"Banita holds a very special
place in my heart. And it's forceful. She is very young, and you know, she let
me protect her from the bad world out there. She is young and has less fear. Her
mindset... She knows clearly about what she wants, and she is such a brilliant
girl," said Varun.
