On Thursday morning, Varun shared his first post on LinkedIn, calling it a ‘new chapter’.

Addressing what he wants to achieve on LinkedIn, a network largely for working professionals, Varun added, “What excites me most about being here is the opportunity to connect with professionals from all industries – not just entertainment. The lessons I’ve learned on set, from directors, producers, and co-actors, have shaped how I approach challenges, collaborate, and constantly push myself to do better.”
He promised his followers to share ‘insights, discussing creativity, leadership, and yes – even some behind-the-scenes glimpses of the world of film’ in the post. “If there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that there’s always something new to learn, no matter where you are in your career,” the Bhediya actor concluded the post. Within the first 24 hours of joining the platform, Varun had amassed over 20,000 followers on LinkedIn.
