Varun Sharma (Fukrey) knew that he wanted to become an actor when he saw Shah Rukh Khan in Baazigar as a kid. He would often imitate him in front of his friends and family. Imagine his shock and delight when he heard that he would be sharing screen space with the Badshah for a TV commercial, which subsequently helped him get a role in Dilwale. Varun says, “Every one who aspires to be an actor dreams of being like Shah Rukh sir and I feel extremely happy to have got an opportunity to work with him as there is a lot that I get to learn. Interestingly, Abbas-Mustan who directed me in Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon had directed Shah Rukh sir in Baazigar.” That’s how life imitates art sometimes.
