Vijay Varma Apologises to Fans After Obituary Post for ‘Darlings’ Character Hamza Causes Concern

Renowned actor Vijay Varma has issued an apology to his fans after a recent social media post celebrating the two-year anniversary of the film ‘Darlings’ caused unintended concern. The actor posted an obituary for his character, Hamza Abdul Shaikh, which led to confusion and worry among his followers.

‘Darlings,’ a dark comedy that premiered on Netflix in 2022, features Vijay Varma in a pivotal negative role alongside co-stars Alia Bhatt and Shefali Shah. The film also marked Alia Bhatt’s debut as a producer. To commemorate the film’s second anniversary, Vijay shared a still from the movie with a caption that read, “It’s been two years since your beloved Hamza left for jannat ki sari (went to heaven). Miss u Hamza darlings not. 2 years of #Darlings.” The mention of “Sads demise” in the post’s context led to fans mistaking it for real-life news, resulting in widespread concern.

Upon realizing the confusion his post had caused, Vijay quickly took to social media to clarify and apologise to his fans. He stated, “I deeply regret any distress my post may have caused. It was meant to be a humorous tribute to Hamza, my character in ‘Darlings,’ not a serious statement. I apologise to all my well-wishers who were worried. Thank you for your continuous love and support.”

‘Darlings’ has been praised for its unique blend of dark comedy and compelling storytelling, with Vijay’s portrayal of Hamza earning significant acclaim. The film continues to be celebrated for its strong performances and impactful narrative.

Vijay Varma’s apology has been well-received by fans, who expressed relief and continued admiration for the actor’s work. As ‘Darlings’ completes two years, it remains a milestone in the careers of all those involved.
