The supremely talented actor Vijay Varma recently brought his signature charm and candor to the promotional events for his upcoming film, 'Gustaakh Ishq – Kuch Pehle Jaisa.' While engaging with the media, Varma offered delightful insight into his personal life, starting with a quirky trip down memory lane. When playfully asked about his 'first love,' the actor immediately shared a sweet childhood memory: “Karachi Bakery’s Fruit Biscuit Cake, that is something I fell in love with for the first time. Instant love! I always wished somehow that I would get married into this family so I could get this cake every day as a kid.” His candid, relatable confession immediately charmed everyone present, reminding them that even celebrated public figures have simple, amusing, and sweet beginnings.

"My Work is My Bride": Dedication to the Craft

Shifting from endearing childhood nostalgia to his present professional passion, Varma was emphatic and clear about what currently holds the title of his "first love." He declared, with utmost conviction, “First and foremost, love is towards my work, something that I do, I love doing it. Right now, my work is my bride.” This powerful statement encapsulates the intense dedication and profound commitment that Varma pours into his acting craft, an ethos that has earned him critical acclaim and the admiration of his widespread fanbase throughout his career.

Layered Romance: Exploring Bonds Beyond the Traditional

In discussing the film Gustaakh Ishq, Vijay Varma highlighted that the movie’s narrative goes beyond a singular definition of romance, portraying multiple meaningful bonds. “This movie has a lot of sweetness to it. When I read the script for the first time, it spoke to me,” he shared. Varma pointed out that the film beautifully explores different forms of deep connection. “There’s an interesting romance between me and Fatima in the movie, but there’s another type of romance too — between me and Naseeruddin Shah. It’s not romantic in nature, but the deep, student-teacher bond is explored beautifully,” he explained.

The Story: Poetry, Passion, and Mentorship

Directed by Vibhu Virender Puri and produced by Stage5 Productions, Gustaakh Ishq boasts an impressive cast, featuring Vijay Varma alongside Fatima Sana Shaikh, Naseeruddin Shah, and Sharib Hashmi. The film's plot centers on Nawabuddin Saifuddin Rahman, who travels to Delhi with the singular goal of learning the delicate art of poetry from the retired master poet, Aziz. During his tutelage, he unexpectedly falls in love with Aziz’s daughter, Minni. The emotional heart of the story is driven by misunderstandings and emotional complexities that create dramatic tension, promising audiences a heartwarming and multi-layered blend of traditional romance and profound mentorship.

Adding to the film’s buzz, the project also notably marks the cinematic production debut of renowned fashion icon Manish Malhotra. Scheduled for a theatrical release on 28 November 2025, the film, with its captivating performances, layered storytelling, and exploration of emotional depth, is firmly shaping up to be one of the most anticipated romantic dramas of the year.
