Women have taste, aesthetics and the gaze to make a monster like Hamza, his Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde-like character from his latest film Darlings, appear bearable on screen, says actor Vijay Varma.
Always a dependable performer, the actor broke out following his stellar portrayal of the perceptive and enterprising Moeen in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy (2019).
Varma’s recent act as the emasculated-at-work, manipulative, and abusive husband-at-home in the role of Hamza in Darlings, directed by debutante Jasmeet K Reen, has got him some of the best reviews of his career.
“I would really like to believe women are my lucky charm. They give me these juicy characters that I can play with. Their gaze is important and therefore, a monster like Hamza is also bearable on screen. My PR, make-up team are all women. I have a mother who supported me to be an actor. I have nieces whom I’ve raised with my hands. I learn a lot from them. They have taste, aesthetics, and beauty. They have so many things going for them that I aspire to have,” Varma told PTI.
Apart from this, earlier in an interview, when discussing how much he cherishes the women in his life, he also talked openly about his first experience receiving female attention.
“My early confidence came from women. I was in my colony, I had this long hair, middle parting kind of a look going on a Marwari boy. So, for the first time that I got aware that I’m a man or a boy, is when I received a note.. this little boy came on a cycle, he gave me a note, he’s like ‘that Didi gave me this note for you’ so I opened it and she had some nice cute things to say about me and the way I look, so yeah. I like it, I love it (laughs),” said the actor.
