Vijay Varma On Gustaakh Ishq
Talking about Gustaakh Ishq, Vijay told IANS, “It is a sweet, romantic film. It has love, it has worship, it has sin, it has worship! There are a lot of things in it that were there for me to explore as an actor.”
The actor went on to explain that he made a conscious decision to portray soft, positive personalities rather than negative ones. He added, “Whenever you switch or change yourself, it can be a bit challenging. But it’s fun. And then you keep doing it for a while, and then you feel like doing something new. So my next step will be to try to go towards comedy.”
