Varun Sood recalls getting bullied in his early school days
In a recent interaction with Humans of Bombay, Varun Sood opened up about his childhood days and reflected on his impressive transformation from being an overweight and introverted kid who was bullied a lot, to becoming a fitness sensation. The Call Me Bae actor recalled that he did not have many friends and was bullied a lot. However, something changed when he dunked his first basketball in the tenth grade. Varun shared:
“Growing up as an overweight kid, I was bullied a lot. So as a result, I kept to myself; I barely had friends. But then one day in tenth class, I dunked a basket for the first time, and that’s where I found my place in basketball. With every competition I took part in, with every tournament I won, I made more friends and became more confident of myself.”
