Vijay Varma reflects on his struggle in the film industry; reveals he had only Rs 18 in his bank account

Vijay Varma has made a mark in Hindi cinema, but his journey to the top involved a long struggle. In a recent interview, he reflected on a challenging period when he had just Rs 18 in his bank account, describing it as the 'lowest point' of his life.
On Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel, Vijay recalled his lowest point, “It was a very bad time, it was my lowest low.There was just Rs 18 in my account and I could either eat panipuri or idli.” When asked why he was in such a state even though he came from a household with a comfortable income, Vijay shared, “I had stopped taking money from home because my father wasn’t talking to me.”
Vijay said, “I was told that if my rent and allowance was sorted, I would not work hard, so I should let that fire within me get strong. In 2-3 months, I was left with nothing, that time I played a small role for money and it was a very bad experience. So it was the lowest low of my life.”
During the promotion of 'Mirzapur 3', the actor revealed to indianexpress.com that his decision to pursue acting led to a significant rift with his father. Vijay shared that when he disclosed his aspirations to become an actor, he was thrown out of the house.
The Bollywood star will next appear in the Netflix series 'IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack', which begins streaming on August 29.
