Vijay Varma’s performance in Darlings as Alia Bhatt’s abusive husband Hamza has received much praise and acclaim, as well as hatred for the character too. In the Netflix film, Alia Bhatt’s character Badru finally retaliates against the violence meted out to her by her husband and takes extreme steps to exact revenge.
Vijay Varma opened up about the praise as well as the concern he has been receiving, primarily from his mother. He said in a statement, “I am getting all kinds of reactions after the release of Darlings; some are saying we hate Hamza, some are praising my performing skills, but the funniest has been my mom. She watched the film and called me in panic. She was worried that no one would marry her son now. I get where she was coming from, but I had such a good laugh after hearing her reaction.”
The actor said that he had to calm her down and assure her that such a situation would not arise. “Secretly, I am also hoping it doesn’t,” he said.
With ‘Darlings’ now available on Netflix, the actor has various films ahead of him, including ‘Devotion of Suspect X’ with Kareena Kapoor Khan, ‘Dahaad’ with Sonakshi Sinha, ‘Mirzapur 3’ and Sumit Saxena’s untitled next.
