Asked about the election, Sonia Gandhi said, "I have been waiting for a long time for this thing".

UNI AO SHK2044。 Vijay Varma has, over time, proved himself as an actor through his various roles. The actor who ventured into Bollywood with a negative character continued to stick to the genre consciously. The actor is now all set to break through his negative on-screen image and step into the world of old-school romance as a lover boy in Manish Malhotra's Gustaakh Ishq.
Talking to IANS, Vijay spoke about consciously breaking his image as an antagonist and stepping into the world of love and romance. He said, “It was a break that I wanted from the negative parts because they tend to weigh down on you. I was constantly told by fans, ‘We hated you in that film; we hated you, but you are a brilliant actor.’" So I wanted to get rid of the word “hate" and call it something else. So be it IC-814 or Jaane Jaan or Murder Mubarak or anything else, I just wanted to take a break from that.”
Talking about Gustaakh Ishq, Vijay shared, “It is a sweet, romantic film. It has love, it has worship, it has sin. There are a lot of things in it that were there for me to explore as an actor.” He also elaborated on making a conscious shift from playing negative characters to soft and positive ones. He said, “Anything that you do new tends to take a bit of time to adjust to, and it can be difficult. I remember when I was in Pink, it was a very dangerously written scene and was a very gruesome scene in the car.”
He added, “Here, in Gustaakh Ishq, I would say that the challenge was to pull off such poetic dialogues and to stand in front of ‘THE’ Naseeruddin Shah, the legend, and to not shiver, yet manage to be believable, and to convey all the emotions correctly. It was a new challenge. Whenever you switch or change yourself, it can be a bit challenging. But it’s fun. And then you keep doing it for a while, and then you feel like doing something new. So my next step will be to try to go towards comedy.”Also Read: Vijay Varma Says He Threw Up During Darlings Screening and Feared It Would Hurt His Career。
