At the launch event, the actor was spotted talking about his journey in Bollywood and his first film SOTY. He described how he felt the night before the release of his debut movie. Varun admitted that he didn't sleep because he was quite anxious. He said, “That night, I had no sleep. The first person to get out of bed was my father, David Dhawan. Along with my mother, I said a quick prayer in the temple. I used to get so many stories from my mother. My tummy was churning with butterflies. Since I still feel anxious, I don't believe anything has changed since then."
