Telly actor Varun Badola turns writer with Ekta Kapoor's web series, Apharan. The suspense thriller, directed by Siddharth Sengupta, also features him as an actor. Varun has always been inclined towards writing, especially dialogues. On the set, he is also seen correcting the diction of co-actors and making impromptu changes to the script.

He's a seasoned actor, having delivered memorable performances in shows like 'Koshish - Ek Aashaa', 'Astitva...Ek Prem Kahani' and 'Aek Chabhi Hai Padoss Mein', but Varun Badola says of late he felt a dearth of qualitative roles being offered to him.
