In an interview, Vijay Varma had revealed that he ran away from home due to issues with his father and did not even speak to him for seven to eight years. The Darlings actor had told Film Companion, “I was the youngest so I was spoiled. Until I reached an age where I started putting my own ideas and he did not like it. He wanted me to join the business and I wanted to do anything other than working with him. So, that’s where the struggle started, and he was also strong with his stand and I was fighting for my stand.”

She further added, “This went on for many years until I decided, ‘I don’t think this man wants anything good for me’, then I ran away from home and then there was no communication for 7-8 years.”

In a recent interview to Galata Plus, Vijay Verma had told that due to not being in a good financial condition, he once had to accept a role which he did not want to do. The actor had told, “It has always been about the role for me, but once I was in my lowest phase, I had no money, I had 18 rupees in my bank account and then a call came. They said there is a small reporter’s role and it is a day job and you will get 3000 rupees. I never wanted to play such a role but I took it and I started shooting but my heart was not there, my conviction was not there and I was faltering in the takes.”

He further added, “And it was in English, so I thought it was not easy to play the role of an English reporter. So, I was thrown out of the set and I had completed Monsoon Shootout by that time, so I played the lead role. Then, but I went through that experience and while coming back I was crying, I told myself that I will never do anything just for money. This happened in 2014 and since then I have not done anything just for the sake of money.

In an interview with News 18, Vijay Verma had revealed that he was dropped from a film because an astrologer did not like his pictures. The actor had said, “Once I got to know that I have been selected for a role and then I was asked to send some pictures. I will not reveal the name, who asked me.
