Actor Varun Badola, who rose to fame as the heartthrob Dev Malik from the television show ‘Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand’ is currently seen in Amazon MiniTV’s show ‘Jamnapaar’. He speaks exclusively to mid-day.com about work opportunities for actors his age, the best advice he’s received from his father, and more.
Varun had a steady acting career on television with shows like Kutumb, Ladies Special, Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya, and Mere Dad Ki Dulhan among others. He moved to the OTT space and did web series like ‘Guns & Gulaabs’ and ‘Kohrra’. When asked if actors of his caliber can find substantial work in showbiz, Varun responds, “I think there are. They are only growing by the day. And yes, there was a time when a lot of actors were dissolved and were probably sitting at home, the opportunities were pretty hard to come by, but then thanks to the OTT platforms and this resurgence, things have changed.”
