This star actor made his Bollywood debut in 2012 with Karan Johar's film 'Student of the Year' alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt. He gave 11 consecutive hit films in the first 6 years of his career. There was a time when he was expected to break Rajesh Khanna's record of 17 consecutive hit films, but after a film his career took a back seat. However, he is the only star kid to give 11 consecutive hit films. Do you recognise which actor we are talking about?
The actor in question is none other than Varun Dhawan. For the unversed, Varun graduated in Business Studies from Nottingham Trent University and began his career in films as an assistant director to Karan Johar in 'My Name is Khan' (2010). He made his acting debut in 2012 and subsequently became a successful star with several films, including 'Main Tera Hero' (2014), 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania' (2014), 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' (2017), 'Dilwale' (2015), 'Dishoom' (2016), 'Judwaa 2' (2017), 'ABCD 2' (2015), and 'Sui Dhaaga' (2018). Varun Dhawan gave 11 consecutive hits in the first 6 years of his career from 2012 to 2018. There was a time when he was compared to superstars like Rajesh Khanna, who gave 17 consecutive hits in his career. It was the film Kalank that ruined the streak of 11 consecutive hits for Varun Dhawan.

But, before Varun Dhawan could break Rajesh Khanna's record, Karan Johar's film 'Kalank' put a break on his career. Even though he could not break Rajesh Khanna's record, he definitely equaled Shah Rukh Khan's record of 11 consecutive hit films. Varun Dhawan was last seen in Baby John with Keerthy Suresh and Vamika Gabbi. Salman Khan also did a small cameo in this film. However, the film failed to attract the audience at the first place.

‘Would be amazing to explore projects here' actor Alia Bhatt gets candid about the city
From the poised and sophisticated teen girl in the film Student of the Year to milestones like portraying the unapologetically strong Gangubai Kathiawadi – which earned her a National Award, and stepping into motherhood, actor Alia Bhatt's professional and personal arc is something all of us have witnessed over the years. One such milestone in the journey was her initiative to start a sustainable clothing brand for children and mothers – Ed-a-Mamma. Recently, the brand, in partnership with Reliance Retail, opened their first store in Bengaluru aiming to bring sustainability and conscious living to the city. 'Bengaluru has a vibrant and conscious community, and I hope it becomes more than just another brand here; I hope it becomes a part of the city's larger conversation on mindful, sustainable living,' she shares. She started it before becoming a mother, unmindful of the significant changes she would have to incorporate post the life-altering event. 'Becoming a mother has only deepened my connection to the brand in such a personal and powerful way. I'm always thinking about comfort, texture, safety, softness, and even how easy something is to put on and remove,' she says. Besides her entrepreneurial journey, she also gets candid about her potential entry into the Kannada film industry. 'I have always admired the storytelling and creativity coming out of Karnataka,' she says, adding, 'Whether as an actor or even on the production side, it would be amazing to explore and collaborate on projects.' Sharing a special bond with the city, she adds, 'Even though my visits to Bengaluru have been short, they have been full of love and warmth. The food, the energy, the city have always been welcoming.' Adorning many hats as an actor, mother, singer, and entrepreneur she embraces the challenges and laughs them off. 'The biggest challenge for me is time – there's never enough of it! But I'm learning to prioritise and be fully present in whatever I'm doing at the moment,' she laughs. As the store comes into its own, Bhatt is hopeful of it bringing a change. 'In Bengaluru, I believe our planet-friendly approach will really resonate, encouraging families to make better and kinder choices. It's about planting seeds of change, one product at a time, and the 'garden city' feels like the perfect place to do that,' she says.
