Vijay
Varma,
known
today
for
his
remarkable
range
across
films
and
web
series,
revealed
a
deeply
personal
chapter
from
his
early
journey,
one
that
beautifully
captures
his
family
man
side.
During
a
recent
conversation
on
Rhea
Chakraborty’s
podcast,
Vijay
shared
a
heartwarming
memory
about
his
bond
with
his
mother
and
sister,
reflecting
the
love
and
comfort
that
shaped
his
ease
with
self-expression
and
confidence
in
who
he
is.
The
Gustaakh
Ishq
actor
spoke
about
growing
up
as
the
youngest
of
three
siblings
and
how
his
early
bond
with
his
mother
and
sister
shaped
his
understanding
of
self-expression
and
identity.
Vijay
recalled,
“I’m
the
youngest
in
the
family,
we
are
three
siblings.
Older
sister,
then
brother,
then
me.
My
sister
and
I
are
very
close.
And
my
mom
and
my
sister
are
besties.
My
sister
always
wanted
to
have
another
sister
to
play
gudiya
(dolls)
with…
but
my
mom
was
too
busy
for
that.
So
sometimes
when
they
were
getting
ready,
they’d
make
me
wear
girls’ clothes,
put
nail
paint
on
me,
that
was
their
entertainment.
But
somehow,
I
felt
loved
and
enjoyed
it.
So
I
think
that
stigma
was
thrown
out
as
a
kid
itself.
I
never
felt
like
this
could
question
my
masculinity
in
any
way.”
The
anecdote
reveals
a
tender,
unfiltered
side
of
Vijay,
one
rooted
in
warmth,
acceptance,
and
emotional
honesty.
It
also
mirrors
how
his
upbringing
instilled
in
him
a
quiet
confidence
and
openness
that
later
translated
into
his
craft.
From
being
“the
little
brother
who
got
painted
nails” to
now
being
celebrated
for
breaking
stereotypes
on
screen,
Vijay’s
story
is
a
full-circle
moment.
With
Gustaakh
Ishq
releasing
on
November
28,
2025,
and
multiple
projects
including
Matka
King
on
the
horizon,
it’s
clear
that
behind
the
nuanced
performer
the
audience
sees,
there’s
also
a
son
and
a
brother,
deeply
connected
to
where
it
all
began.
