In Bollywood, there's a common perception that actors from film families get unfair advantages over others. Additionally, people often assume that these actors won't deliver strong performances due to their family connections.
However, this particular actor gave 11 back-to-back hits and many of them even earned more than Rs 100 crore. The actor we are talking about is Varun Dhawan.
Varun Dhawan, one of the highest paid actors in India, was born on 24 April 1987. He is the son of film director David Dhawan. He made his acting debut in 2012 with Johar's teen drama Student of the Year.
Varun Dhawan delivered 11 consecutive hits in his first six years, including films like Main Tera Hero, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, and Dilwale. His streak drew comparisons to Rajesh Khanna, who had 17 consecutive hits in his career.
However, the actor’s career slowed down after Kalank, which underperformed at the box office. The nepotism debate also affected him. Following his initial 11 consecutive hits, four of his last six films have flopped.
Varun Dhawan faced a boycott call due to the intensified nepotism debate following Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic death in 2020. However, he is loved by many for his performance.
He has been featured in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list in the 2010s. Varun has won many awards and has received nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his intriguing performances in Badlapur (2015) and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017).
Some of his movies are Baby John, Stree 2, Bawaal, Bhediya, Jugjugg Jeeyo, Kalank, Sui Dhaaga, October and many more.
