Fan Club Of The Week - Varun Dhawan

By Asjad Nazir.

RISING Bollywood star Varun Dhawan has one of the fastest growing fan bases in the film fraternity.


A group of admirers from India have come together to run a popular fan club dedicated to him.

Eastern Eye caught up with them to find out more.

What made you set up the fan club?

It was simply our love for Varun. In the beginning, we primarily saw this as a platform to connect with him, but now we feel blessed to be getting a chance to spread love for our idol. It has been more than five years we are running this fan club and we’re lucky to be a part of this family.

Tell us about your fan club?

We are a really friendly and an interactive fan group. We’ve always tried to give our best in updating fellow fans about stuff related to Varun. We are very approachable and we’re active on both Twitter and Instagram.

Tell us your memorable moment?

For us, all the times when Varun has noticed us are memorable. Also, whenever someone tells us about how our posts make them feel more connected with Varun and admire

him even more, it’s a great feeling. If we’re able to share the love for our idol, it just feels so good. Every year on Varun’s birthday, when the whole fandom comes together to

trend for him, it is beautiful.

What is the best thing you like about your idol?

When you have Varun as your idol, pointing just one best thing is difficult. He’s such an inspiration. One of many things we love about him is how he doesn’t act as a superhero.

He’s not someone who’ll conceal his flaws and that’s what makes him so relatable. He’s always done what he believes in and has a good heart.

What is your favourite work Varun has done?

For us, there can’t be just one favourite work of his. Varun puts more than 100 per cent into everything. The passion and dedication with which he works are so inspiring. We

feel so connected to all his films that it’s difficult to pick just one best.

Tell us an interesting fact about your idol?

Many know that he is a huge fan of Dwayne Johnson. One interesting fact is that when The Rock replied him on Twitter the first time, Varun did a performance of him on a reality

show.

Also, for a movie Varun got a tattoo inspired by The Rock and he appreciated Varun for that.

What is your definition of a true fan?

A true fan genuinely loves their idol. You don’t need to meet any standards or do certain things to prove that you’re a true fan, only your love needs to be real. Be honest.

Inside the Kerala actress assault case and the reckoning it triggered in Malayalam cinema

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
