Saiyaara actor, Varun Badola talks about facing a financial crunch

Despite being a popular actor, who has been a part of many films and television shows, Varun had his fair share of struggles.

Varun Badola believed in exploring his creativity and hence never gave weightage to money, which led to many problems in his life. The actor hardly saved anything. Recalling an incident from his struggling time, Varun shared:

“A friend and I were living together. We only had Rs 250 left, and we had absolutely nothing else. We decided to go out and splurge on Chinese food. After that, we went to a quarter bar and shared a drink. We didn’t have money for three days after that. We got work after that, and got through another month with that Rs 3000 or Rs 4000. But these things happen.”

“It was a family of seven, and most people don’t realise this, but when you have a young child at home, your expenses goes through the roof. And then you add the dogs; it’s very expensive to take care of them. I was almost down to my last penny.”
