Varun Badola believed in exploring his creativity and hence never gave weightage to money, which led to many problems in his life. The actor hardly saved anything. Recalling an incident from his struggling time, Varun shared:
“A friend and I were living together. We only had Rs 250 left, and we had absolutely nothing else. We decided to go out and splurge on Chinese food. After that, we went to a quarter bar and shared a drink. We didn’t have money for three days after that. We got work after that, and got through another month with that Rs 3000 or Rs 4000. But these things happen.”
