As expected, Bollywood poured in their love too. Dharma Productions, the banner that launched Varun in Student of the Year (2012), shared a nostalgic birthday video on their official Instagram. Featuring iconic clips from films like Kalank (2019) and his debut, the caption read: “He enters → vibe changes. He dances → crowd goes deewana. Happy birthday to the energy factory himself, our soon to be sanskari boy.”
Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Varun’s co-star in the upcoming series Citadel: Honey Bunny, also shared a playful wish. Posting a fun clip of her dancing with Varun to the beats of the Baby John track “Nain Matakka,” she wrote: “Happy Birthday @varundvn. May the child in you always stay alive, curious, playful and full of wonder. Wishing you a day filled with joy and a year filled with great adventure.”
On the professional front, Varun has a power-packed lineup. He’s set to headline Shashank Khaitan’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, and reunite with his father David Dhawan for the romantic comedy Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain. With these exciting projects in the pipeline and a fandom that only continues to grow, 2025 is shaping up to be a blockbuster year for the actor.
As he turns 38, Varun Dhawan proves once again why he remains one of Bollywood’s most cherished stars—radiating charm, positivity, and unshakeable connection with his audience.
