Vardhan, who in the past has assisted Habib Faisal for Ishaqzaade and Dawaat-e-Ishq and Manish Sharma for Shuddh Desi Romance, reveals that he considers his late grandfather as his God. Vardhan said, “Dadu is the God whom I pray to. I was so close to him that I would sleep between him and my grandmother.
