Varun Badola’s father passes away

Varun Badola’s father Vishwa Mohan Badola breathed his last on November 23 due to age related issues. While it is a heart-breaking moment for Varun and his family, the actor took to his Instagram handle and penned a heartfelt tribute for his father. He wrote, “A lot of people crib about the fact that their kids do not listen to them. Many forget that kids are always watching them. My father never sat me down to teach me anything. He made learning a way of life for me. He set an example so exemplary that I had no choice but… follow. If you think that I am a good actor, blame him. If I write, he has to take the onus. If I sing… well if I had just about 1/10th of his singing talent, I would have become a singer.”

Varun further wrote, “He made me a man. Not many know that he was a journalist by profession. A master on South-East Asian affairs. Travelled the world twice over. He did more than 400 plays for AIR. He was an actor par excellence. When he sang, time stopped. Make no mistake, this man was a legend. But for me, he was my father. A father who was always watching and always listening. So, ladies and gentlemen The Man, The Legend, The Phenomenon has called it a day. But his legacy will stay on forever in various forms.”
