The very successful student of Karan Johar and loving son of David Dhawan - Varun Dhawan, rings his 31st birthday today. As we wish the talented star a very happy birthday we try to have a peek at the attitude that this birthday boy carries and why he has experienced phenomenal success in a short period.

Here are some quotes of Varun that got us thinking:

I'm not invincible. I am not picture-perfect. The reason I am here is not because of the money; if I get to entertain people and put a smile on their face, I feel content.

I realise that women don't want to get treated differently but just equally. I don't know what feminism is all about, but I understand that women should be treated equally, and I endorse that thought.

My dream role would be a role that is entertaining and 'massy,' and it should be able to make people laugh and cry and make the audience scared of me and then make them fall in love with me again.

I definitely think if you're born into the industry, you get easier access, but that's about it. I have never denied that, but after that, only talent and hard work sustains you.

I have trained, but not really that much professionally. But 'ABCD2' has been the biggest training ground. I've been exposed to and learnt so many dance forms through this film.

Shah Rukh Khan is such a gentleman that he doesn't intimidate anyone. He is nothing but sweet to me.

My brother starting earning early in life. I stopped taking money from my parents, and my brother would give me the pocket money.

My whole outlook towards women changed after 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania.' I am a boy who is brought up in Mumbai, and I believe I am open-minded. But I realised that there were so many things my mind was not expanded to.

I have a large heart, and there are many special people in my heart like my mom, my dad and brother and his wife.

Goodness is something people take advantage of, and if you want to remain a good person for long, you should make sure that too many people don't take advantage of you because then you turn bitter.
