Vijay Varma is the most versatile actor in Bollywood. Hooding numerous roles, the actor doesn’t fail to please the audience. But behind that stardom stands an episode of struggles.
In his recent appearance, Vijay talked about his lowest phase in life. Talking on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel, Vijay said, “It was a very bad time, it was my lowest low. There were just Rs 18 in my account and I could either eat panipuri or idli.
” When asked why he was in such a state even though he came from a household with a comfortable income, Vijay shared, “I had stopped taking money from home.” A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Vijay did not come from a household struck by poverty. On the contrary, things were comfortable for him, but he chose an alternate route to be independent.
When asked about the reason behind “I had stopped taking money from home because my father wasn’t talking to me,” he said. Vijay further shared that he had stopped asking for money from his family. "Meri baat-cheet ho nahin rahi thi mere pitaji se (I wasn't on talking terms with my father)," Vijay expressed.
“I was told that if my rent and allowance were sorted, I would not work hard, so I should let that fire within me get strong. In 2-3 months, I was left with nothing, that time I played a small role for money and it was a very bad experience. So it was the lowest low of my life,” added Vijay.
A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) "Aur mujhe kisi samjhdaar aadmi ne bola ki jab tak tera rent aur basic kharcha aata rahega, tu hilega nahin. Tere andar jo fire hai usko thoda jalane de..
.(An intelligent person had told me that till the time you are getting money for rent and basic expenses, you won't move. You have a fire inside; let it burn)," he added.
Vijay remembered his condition of feeling like he had lost everything. The actor is currently promoting his upcoming series IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the series stars Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur, and Dia Mirza.
It is set to premiere on Netflix on August 29 this year. READ MORE: Vijay Varma Says Amitabh Bachchan Is Always On Set, 'He Pulls Up A Chair And Watches Others Work'.
