During an interactive session on Instagram, Varma responded to a fan’s question about crying while watching a movie or series. Referencing the popular internet meme “I am a liver,” Varma humorously confessed, “I am a crier (not a liver). I cried watching 12th Fail this evening. @vikrantmassey made me weep a lot (red heart emoticon).”

“12th Fail,” which hit theaters in October 2023 and recently made its way to Disney+ Hotstar, delves into the challenges faced by students aspiring to crack the UPSC entrance exam. The story revolves around Manoj Kumar Sharma’s journey from poverty to becoming an IPS officer. Adapted from Anurag Pathak’s novel, the film features Massey as a young man from Chambal with dreams of joining the police force.
