David wanted his son to be a banker. Recalling days when Varun approached Karan Johar, David Dhawan shared that Varun came back from abroad after studying, and he asked his son what he wanted to do in life as everyone was taking up a bank job those days.
The new daddy went to Karan Johar and said he wanted to assist the filmmaker. David Dhawan shared that Karan knew the family very well, and they went abroad to work on My Name is Khan, and the cameraman, Ravi Chandran, was the one who told Karan to keep an eye on him.
Sharing about Varun's insecurity, David Dhawan said, "Karan came over to our house and said that he wants to launch him, and they did a photoshoot with Sidharth Malhotra." David Dhawan added, "I was with him, and some days he used to be very upset also. I told him, 'These things happen in two-hero films. Listen, my son, you're damn good. Your confidence is something else. Don't be afraid, take the leap.'"
For the unversed, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra assisted Karan Johar in the film My Name Is Khan.
