He has played romantic roles in many of his films, such as Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania , Coolie No. 1 , Student of the Year , Badrinath Ki Dulhania , and Jugjugg Jeeyo , to name a few.

The movie scene of Main Tera Hero went viral when a BTS video from the sets of the film was shared. The clip shows Varun and Nargis performing a kiss scene. When the director asked him to cut the scene short, he continued the scene even after the director said, 'Cut… Cut… Cut!' After Varun stopped kissing Nargis, the crew laughed out loud, making him embarrassed.

Meet first actor to give 11 back to back hits, was set to break Rajesh Khanna's record, but one film ruined everything, he is…, film is… This star kid was set to break the record set by legendary actor Rajesh Khanna, making a phenomenal name in Bollywood, one film ruined everything. Do you recognise this actor? By Shawn Dass Edited by Shawn Dass Advertisement 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.

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.
