Searching for His Role in Life: Meet Varun Venugopal Gupta

Varun Venugopal Gupta was born in India into a middle-class family. Growing up, he lived in many cities, was raised a very independent kid and was given a lot of freedom to do what he wanted.

One of the things that makes him deeply human is his constant search for himself, for his role in society. Today he shares his journey so far, he tells us about his love of theatre and explains how he ended up making his own luck and regaining his confidence after quite a disastrous school experience.
