Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan, son of acclaimed filmmaker David Dhawan, recently revealed that he grew up in a lower-middle-class family. He recalled going to school in an auto and having to cut down on expenses when his father's film flopped.
In a recent episode of Be A Man, Yaar!, Varun spoke about his childhood and recalled how his father used to work around the clock. He said, 'Mujhe bachpan mein pyaara bahut mila as compared to wealth (I got more love in childhood than wealth). Because we were not very well-to-do as we became later.'
The actor revealed that his family's financial status did not matter much to him and also spoke about going to school in an auto. He said, 'Aap zameen pe sula lo yaa bed pe (Make me sleep on bed or floor), it didn't matter. Papa toh ghar pe hote hi nahi the (Papa wasn't at home much). He was working round the clock doing 2 movies at a time.'
David Dhawan started off as an editor in the 1984 film Saaransh before becoming a director and specialising in comedy films. He made his directorial debut in 1989 with Taaqatwar, starring Sanjay Dutt and Govinda.
The father-son duo are now awaiting the release of their upcoming film, Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, which was earlier scheduled to release on 4 June but has now been postponed to 12 June.
