Actor Vijay Varma is attending the Cannes Film Festival as part of the Indian delegation this year. In a recent interview with Film Companion at the prestigious festival, the actor recalled how he was rejected by stylists during his red-carpet debut in 2013.
He said, ‘When I came here, I bought one jacket from Zara, which I could afford. But for the main event, for two events, they said you have to wear the whole suit. And I went to people, saying, ‘Can some designer come, can some stylist help me out?’ And they said, ‘Who’s Vijay Varma? We don’t want to dress anybody.’
Vijay added that he managed to get a tuxedo for the event at the last minute.
‘So, a friend of mine gifted me a Zara suit, which I wore for the morning photo call. And somebody stitched me a tuxedo for the red carpet. That's how I went. When I saw the pictures, they came out on Getty Images and all these places, which I didn’t have money to buy from,’ he said.
Vijay further said that he thought he looked fine as he had never been part of such an event before.
On the work front, Vijay Varma has received a lot of praise for his performance in Prime Video's ‘Dahaad’.
