Watch: I had wanted to elope and get married, Varun tells Taapsee

Mumbai: Varun Dhawan is quite ahead of his peers in terms of talent, charm and stardom. And his fans await the most feeble of his glimpses and insights into his life with bated breaths. The actor will soon be alongside third time collaborator, Alia Bhatt in ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania,’ but has also commenced work on Papa David Dhawan’s ‘Judwaa 2’.

The film has Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu as his female leads. Taapsee herself has a lot on her platter, post the success of ‘Pink’. Taapsee has three upcoming releases in ‘Running Shaadi’ opposite Amit Sadh, ‘The Ghazi Atack’ alongside Rana Daggubati’ and the highly anticipated ‘Naam Shabana’ alongside Manoj Bajpayee, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Akshay Kumar.

Taapsee, who is currently gearing up for the release of ‘Running Shaadi,’ took to Twitter to speak to her industry friends, urging them to share their anecdotes on personal trysts with eloping.

And Varun being the prompt lad that he is, instantly responded.

"Yes I have thought of running away and getting married but I was young in 12th standard so I wouldn't have been able to run away too far from school,” he said, adding, “Although we almost helped a friend run away and get married to his then girlfriend. Everything was all set but then our plan was busted as the girls parents found out. But now my friend is married to someone else so I guess it worked out for the best.”

‘Running Shaadi,’ helmed by Amit Roy, releases on February 17.
