Boy o boy! Should Varun Dhawan be worried or happy about it? Salman Khan is role model for many a young actor. But some believe that in certain (not easily describable) ways he has set examples which are hard to follow, really hard. So when Sallu recently gave a statement that Varun Dhawan is like him and that he reminds him of his younger days, it created quite a buzz in Bollywood. Now it remains to be seen how Varun D’s parents feel about it, because if the young actor is anything like Sallu, then being single shouldn’t ring alarm bells for his family. No, no, I stand corrected … it should.
