Varun Dhawan ([ʋəˈrʊɳ dʱəˈʋən]; born 24 April 1987) is an Indian actor who works in Hindi films. One of the country’s highest-paid celebrities, he has featured in Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list since 2014. Born to the film director David Dhawan, he studied business management from the Nottingham Trent University, after which he worked as an assistant director to Karan Johar on the 2010 drama My Name Is Khan. Eventually, across his foray into acting, he became the only actor in the history of Indian cinema to feature in eleven box-office successes in a row from the inception of his career.
Dhawan made his acting debut in 2012 with Johar’s teen drama Student of the Year. He rose to prominence with starring roles in the romantic comedies Main Tera Hero (2014), Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014), and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017); the action comedies Dilwale (2015), Dishoom (2016), and Judwaa 2 (2017); the dance film ABCD 2 (2015); and the drama Sui Dhaaga (2018). He also received praise for playing an avenger in the crime thriller Badlapur (2015) and an aimless man coping with loss in the drama October (2018). The success of all these eleven films was followed by commercial failures in the period drama Kalank (2019) and the musical dance-drama Street Dancer 3D (2020), as well as a critical failure in the Amazon Prime Video-presented comedy-drama Coolie No. 1 (2020).
