He expressed, "Aapko samajh mei aata hai, aas paas bahut kuch badal raha hai aur wo itni tezi se badal raha hota hai (You understand, a lot is changing around you and it is changing so fast)." He further added, "Aur main sahi bataun, aasan nahi hota hai ki nahi milta hai toh dekha jaayega because kaam toh tumhe ek hi aata hai na karna life mein (And let me tell you the right thing that it is not easy to avoid the situation when we don't get any work because we know only that one thing to do in our life)."
Divulging further, Varun Badola candidly shared that once he did a show to earn money that could last for about two years and had no huge expenses in life.
