Vijay Varma gets candid about his childhood memories with his mother and sister: “That stigma was thrown out as a kid itself”

Vijay recalled, “I’m the youngest in the family, we are three siblings. Older sister, then brother, then me. My sister and I are very close. And my mom and my sister are besties. My sister always wanted to have another sister to play gudiya (dolls) with… but my mom was too busy for that. So sometimes when they were getting ready, they’d make me wear girls’ clothes, put nail paint on me, that was their entertainment. But somehow, I felt loved and enjoyed it. So I think that stigma was thrown out as a kid itself. I never felt like this could question my masculinity in any way.”

The story offers a glimpse into a softer, more personal side of Vijay Varma—one shaped by warmth, acceptance, and emotional honesty. His upbringing appears to have given him a quiet confidence and openness that later reflected in his performances. From being “the little brother who got painted nails” to now portraying characters that challenge stereotypes, Vijay’s journey has come full circle. With Gustaakh Ishq set to release on November 28, 2025, and projects like Matka King ahead, the actor continues to balance his evolving craft with the grounded roots of his family life.
