Our story 'Varun Dhawan had contemplated suicide' on Thursday (May 21) raised quite a few eyebrows, with many even questioning its authenticity. Like always, we were telling you just the truth. And that's the 9XE brand promise.
We reported that the story is derived from a little-read piece, which was narrated by Varun Dhawan himself on the eve of the release of Student of the Year. It's time to tell you where the Badlapur actor's story was published, after he had read the transcript and approved of it. The photograph which accompanied the story was selected by him as well.
The little-read piece is from celebrated film critic Khalid Mohamed's book Faction, which has short stories by 22 film personalities.
The book hit the stand in 2013. It is available even now.
