Earlier this year, Varun openly discussed his affection for his pets during an appearance on Twinkle Khanna and Kajol’s talk show, Two Much With Twinkle and Kajol. Reflecting on his bond with his dogs, including Joey, the Thamma actor conveyed how deeply significant that relationship is for him. “I don’t say this in front of the camera to appear cool, but I don’t see a difference between my dog and my child. It’s the first time I’ve had a dog. The connection I have with him is something I don’t think I can replicate with any other living being,” he shared.
