Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan, who will soon be seen in a unique love story titled “October”, was touched by the romantic tale of a differently-abled couple.
Ishq FM’s Romance in Rome contest highlighted the real-life love story of Nehal Thakkar and Anup Chandran, who met Varun and shared their compelling tale.
The two shared that they had met at a medical convention and realised that they both went through very similar accidents at the same spot — Palm Beach Road in New Bombay, in a car of the same make and model, but only three years apart. They got married after dating for seven years.

Interestingly, the couple’s birth dates also coincide.
Varun is also part of the crop of actors who believe in doing one film at a time but maintains that it will take some time for him to get there. He also adds that slowly and steadily he is getting there. “It has taken me time to be offered films like October and Sui Dhaaga. In the past, Shoojit never called me to his office to offer a film. I reached this level of importance only after my tenth film,” says an elated Varun.

Varun also gives some insight into a typical Shoojit Sircar film set.
“The sets are stress-free and he calms you down before shooting. He often reiterates that forget the fact that you are on a film set. If I am not interested in shooting for the film, he offers to postpone it for the next day. He is a genius and knows how to cajole an actor.”
Few facets of Varun echo their resemblance with Salman Khan and that pertains to the megastar’s benevolence, sensitivity and emotional aspect.

So will it be right to compare him with Salman Khan?
“No, please don’t compare me with him. The kind of large heartedness that he has, I don’t think I have reached there yet. For someone to give so much of his wealth without even thinking, is incredible.” Varun also reveals that he did meet the star at his home after he was released on bail. He further informs that he only hugged him and did not say a word. “My relationship with Salman Khan is personal because I have known him since I was a kid. All my reactions towards the superstar are from a personal angle and never from the professional point of view.”
