Jeedigunta Varun Sandesh (born 21 July 1989) is an Indian actor known primarily for his works in

Bigg Boss 3
as a contestant and finished as a finalist.

Personal life

Varun Sandesh was born in

Nandini Reddy's Ala Modalaindi.[5]

Sandesh and actress Shraddha Das, who was his co-star in Maro Charitra, had a short-lived relationship in 2011.[6][7][8] Varun got engaged with actress Vithika Sheru whom he met in Paddanandi Premalo Mari (2015) on 7 December 2015, and they went on to get married.[9]

Career

In 2007, Sandesh applied for auditions for a Sekhar Kammula film through an online advertisement, despite having no prior acting experience and previously planning to pursue medical studies.[10]

He received a reply of one scene's film script, which he was asked to act out and send back.[11] He shot and sent video clippings of himself to Kammula, which promptly landed him a lead role in the film Happy Days. Featuring an ensemble cast, comprised almost entirely with newcomers,[12] Happy Days was a major critical and commercial success, winning several accolades, including six Filmfare Awards South and three Nandi Awards.[13][14]

He then starred in romantic drama

Pandavulu Pandavulu Thummeda
(2014).

In 2019, Sandesh became a notable television personality for his participation in

Bigg Boss Telugu 3, reaching the grand finale and finishing in 4th place. Sandesh is also the brand ambassador for the Kalanjali store in Andhra Pradesh, India.[19][20]
