Varun
Dhawan
has
been
funding
the
education
of
Ritik
Diwakar,
a
contestant
of
Super
Dancer
-
Chapter
2,
for
the
last
two
years.
In
an
interview,
Ritik
shared
that
he
met
Varun
when
the
latter
came
on
the
show
as
a
celebrity
judge.
Varun
decided
to
fund
his
education
when
he
learnt
that
Ritik's
family
could
not
afford
a
good
education
for
him.
Speaking
to
Times
of
India,
Ritik
revealed
that
Varun
got
him
admission
into
the
KDMA
International
Academy
in
Kanpur.
The
actor
has
also
been
paying
Ritik's
fees
and
sponsoring
his
uniform
and
books.
Ritik,
who
is
currently
in
the
eighth
grade,
said,
"It's
been
two
years
now
for
me
to
be
studying
in
this
prestigious
school
of
the
city.
Varun
bhaiya
kept
his
promise
of
funding
my
education.
Every
year
he
transfers
the
yearly
fee,
which
includes
my
uniform
and
books,
to
the
school's
account.
I
am
really
happy
that
despite
being
from
a
poor
family
I
am
able
to
study
in
a
reputed
school
of
the
city.
I
never
thought
that
this
would
happen
with
me
after
participating
in
a
reality
show."
He
added,
"Yes,
Varun
bhaiya
calls
me
several
times
during
the
year,
especially
on
festivals
like
Holi
and
Diwali.
He
makes
video
calls
and
keeps
a
track
of
my
education
too.
Woh
bahut
achhe
hai
(He
is
very
nice).
I
hope
when
I
grow
up
I
can
be
like
him.
I
am
really
studying
hard
so
that
I
can
make
the
most
of
this
opportunity
given
to
me
by
him."
Talking
about
work,
Varun
will
next
be
seen
in
Coolie
No
1,
which
has
been
directed
by
his
father
David
Dhawan.
The
film
also
stars
Sara
Ali
Khan,
Shikha
Talsania
and
Paresh
Rawal.
Earlier
scheduled
for
release
in
May,
Coolie
No
1
is
now
slated
for
an
OTT
release
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
