India, March 29 -- Continued from p 03 D espite the common perception that star kids grow up in privilege, actor Varun Dhawan says his early years were rooted in simplicity, revealing that he was raised in a "lower middle-class family". Speaking on Be A Man, Yaar!, the 38-year-old shared that before his father, filmmaker David Dhawan, found success, the family struggled financially. "Mujhe bachpan mein pyaar bahut mila as compared to wealth. We were very lower middle class because my dad's career hadn't taken off," he said. Recalling his childhood, Varun said financial uncertainty was constant, especially when his father's films did not perform well. "Papa toh ghar pe hote hi nahi the. He was working around the clock, doing two films at a time. Mumma kehti thi, 'yeh khaana jo tum khaa rahe ho, yeh papa kaam kar rahe hain isliye khaa rahe ho'. Aur agar koi film nahi chali, toh kehti thi, 'ab aage pata nahi kya karenge, so you have to cut down on your expenses'." He also spoke about his simple upbringing, sharing that he travelled to school by auto and was not particular about comforts. "Aap zameen par sula lo ya bed par, it didn't matter," he added. Varun will next be seen collaborating with his father on the upcoming comedy entertainer Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, slated for a June release. The film marks their fourth collaboration and also stars Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde. HTC...
