Varun Tej’s career graph

The actor made his entry into the acting world merely at the age of 10. He was featured as a child artist in his father’s movie Hands Up in 2000. But it wasn’t until fourteen years after that he bagged a leading role alongside Pooja Hegde in his debut movie Mukunda. Though receiving critical acclamation for his acting in Loafer, Kanche, and Mister, Varun Tej did not find box office successful until the release of Fidaa with Sai Pallavi. Since then he has appeared in multiple hit movies including F2: Fun and Frustration, and Tholi Prema, Gaddalakonda Ganesh, among others. The actor next has Gandeevedhari Arjuna in the pipeline.

Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi’s love story

The duo met on the sets of their film Mister and reportedly fell head over heels for each other. They were once again seen together in Antariksham. The rumours of their impending engagement created massive buzz on social media quickly after Varun’s father confirmed he will soon introduce his bride to the media. A report by Pinkvilla claims the engagement ceremony will be an intimate affair between friends and family. The couple is likely to exchange in the evening of Friday, June 9, at Varun Tej’s residence.
