Vijay Varma escaped strict dad, quietly raised money
Vijay Varma left home to chase his acting dream despite his strict father. Now successful, he has his family's support, and his mother plans to move to Mumbai.
Actor Vijay Varma recently opened up about the early obstacles he faced while chasing his dream of becoming an actor. In a candid conversation with filmmaker Farah Khan, he revealed that he left home due to his father's authoritarian attitude. Without informing his family, he secretly applied to the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) and was accepted. Lacking financial support, he discreetly raised money from friends to make the move. This bold step marked the beginning of his journey, driven by ambition and a refusal to let family pressure hold him back.
Over the years, Varma’s hard work and persistence have earned him recognition for his compelling performances in films like Gully Boy and Darlings. Reflecting on his evolution, he shared that his once-disapproving family has come around, including his strict father, who now supports his career. He also mentioned that his mother plans to relocate to Mumbai to be near him—an emotional milestone that reflects healing and newfound pride within the family.
