The 33-year-old actor remarked: “For me, as an actor, the kind of adulation and appreciation Choocha received from the audiences, is nothing short of an achievement. The love that I have today, and everything that I have received in the last 10 years, is because of Fukrey.”

Besides sharing his experience, the Chhichhore actor recalled his happiness when he saw his face on the poster of Fukrey, reports Hindustan Times.

“I remember I called up my mother and told her about it and there was a moment of pin drop, following which she gave her blessings. That was the moment when I realised the true meaning of the phrase ‘silence speaks a lot”, revealed Varun.
