Varun Chakraborty slept with a coffee cup
Recalling this moment, Chakraborty shared an anecdote in which he was seen sleeping near a coffee cup after the win. Varun said, “I had planned everything. I knew we would win. So I thought of posting a picture of me sleeping with the trophy, but after the match, there was nothing next to me. There was just a cup of coffee, so I took that.”
I had planned that I will sleep and take a photo with the cup next to me. But after the match, there was nothing next to me. There was just a coffee cup, so I went ahead with it.
