Vijay Varma is currently hailed as one of the promising actors in Hindi cinema. The actor is slowly carving his own path in the film industry, with some tremendous films to his credit. After graduating from the Film and Television Institute of India, Vijay has proved his versatility as an actor with films like Gully Boy, Darlings, Dahaad, Jaane Jaan, and many others.
After his debut in Chittagong in 2012, Vijay found recognition with the crime drama film, Pink in 2016. His role in the film was highly applauded, and since then, there has been no looking back for Vijay. But Vijay was worried about his negative roles in films, as he thought he would be typecast and people would perceive him like that in real life, too.

During the launch of SCREEN, Vijay opened up about his experience after working in Pink and said that many pretty girls and their mothers would tell him that they were scared of him. Talking about the same, Vijay said:
“Lots of pretty girls and their mothers have told me they are scared of me, and it did bother me. The introduction of extremely diabolical men that I played started with Pink. It was a minor part, but I remember it vividly because it was an all-women screening. All the actresses were present, and I recall seeing people I had only watched on screen before.”
In the same interaction, Vijay also talked about Bollywood singer, Sunidhi Chauhan’s reaction after Pink's screening. Revealing how he was taken aback when she said not to come near her, the actor retorted:
“Before the screening, everyone was happy, but by the end, some were crying and some didn’t want to leave. I tried to console Sunidhi Chauhan, but she told me, ‘Don’t come near me. I’m very scared of you.’ I was like, ‘Oh my god, what just happened?’ Then the director pulled me aside and told me I did a good job.”
Vijay Varma achieved the fame he enjoys today all by himself, without any Godfather to recommend his name to big filmmakers. In an interview with The Indian Express, Vijay Varma talked about his acting journey and revealed that he had to go through several auditions for even a small opportunity. Vijay also mentioned that he was confirmed for a role in Sacred Games and even did his costume measurements, but then he got dropped from the project.
