Mumbai, Feb 23 (NationPress) Bollywood sensation Varun Dhawan, who recently starred in ‘Baby John’, is relishing the thrilling match between traditional foes India and Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium during the ongoing Champions Trophy.
On Sunday, the actor took to his Instagram to share a heartwarming snapshot with his daughter, Lara. The image captures the duo lounging on a sofa, engrossed in the match on television, with their pet dog Joey also making a cameo.
In his caption, he expressed, “#indiavspakistan I used to watch with my dad now she’s cheering for #teamindia with me”.
As of now, the Pakistan cricket team, captained by Mohammad Rizwan, has amassed 159 runs, losing 4 wickets. The two new batsmen at the crease are Salman Ali Agha and Tayyab Tahir. Hardik Pandya has taken 2 wickets, while Axar Patel has claimed 1 wicket along with a runout.
Previously, Varun discussed the necessary transformations within the Hindi film industry. He stated that Bollywood is currently dominated by perspectives that focus primarily on Mumbai rather than adopting a pan-India approach.
While it may be tempting to be influenced by the city, given its status as the entertainment capital of India, Varun believes it is crucial for diverse voices from across the nation to enrich Bollywood storytelling.
On ‘The Ranveer Show’ podcast, he remarked, “I think some voices need to come from different places, besides Bombay, some voices need to come in. We definitely need it.”
He further elaborated, “It used to happen earlier. I think it has become a little difficult now. To enter. Now you are thinking that should I enter the film industry? Should I become an influencer? Should I direct some shorts there itself? Or should I go on OTT? Options have come in.”
Varun also emphasized that those with authority in Bollywood should recognize the necessity for change over time, and if they cannot adapt, they should consider relinquishing some influence to elevate the industry collectively.
