Vijay Varma Recalls Having Just Rs 18 In His Bank Account: 'I Was At My Lowest Low...'

From Pink to Gully Boy, Darlings and Jaane Jaan, Vijay Varma has surely come a long way in the entertainment industry. However, there was a time when the actor had no money left in his bank account and therefore he decided to take up any role that came to him. In a recent interview with Galatta Plus, Vijay recalled the same and revealed how financial strain once led him to accept a role that he did not want to do. However, he was fired from the project later.

“It has always been about the role for me but one time when I was at my lowest low, I didn’t have any money, I had Rs 18 in my bank account and there was a call that came. They said there is a small reporter’s role and it’s a one-day job and you will get Rs 3000. I never wanted to play a role like that but I took it. I went and I started shooting. My heart wasn’t there, my conviction wasn’t there and I was fumbling in the take,” Vijay said.

“And it was in English, so I figured that it isn’t easy to play an English reporter. So, I got fired on the set and I had finished Monsoon Shootout by that time, so I had played a lead by then, but I went through that experience and I was crying on my way back, I told myself that I will never take up anything for money. This happened in 2014 and I haven’t done anything for money since then,” the actor added.

Vijay Varma rose to fame after he featured in the 2016 movie Pink. He was recently seen in Jaane Jaan with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat. Next, Vijay will be seen in Afghaani Snow and Murder Mubarak, He also has Suriya 43 in his pipeline.
