The ‘October’ actor has learnt the basics of stitching, sewing and tailoring to play the role of a simple tailor Mauji in the YRF directorial. Utilising his newly learnt skill he handstitched a jacket with ‘Made In India’ written over and gifted it to Salman.

As reported by a source to News 18, “Varun is now a pro at tailoring. When the makers planned his appearance at Bigg Boss, Varun himself told the team that he wants to do something special for Salman, who he idolises. Salman has been extremely fond of Varun and the actor wanted to make something with his own hands to gift Salman on the show. Salman is the ultimate popular hero for India. Varun wanted to gift him something that matches his superstardom.”

The source added that Varun told the team that Salman is a truly Made in India hero. He is loved by people across age groups and he also showers them with unconditional love, therefore, he will make a jacket with the words Made In India on it.
