Besides, Vardhan has always been interested in acting as he has worked in theatre before. Vardhan was close to his grandfather, Amrish Puri and it was Amrish’s death in 2005 which made him decide to stick to acting.
Amrish Puri died at the age of 72 and is fondly remembered for his movies like ‘Badshah’, ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’, ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ among others.
