Bollywood's rising star Varun Dhawan turns 27 today. But the star isn't keen on celebrating his birthday for two major reasons. 

First, he doesn't intend to party as he wants to go out to vote and secondly his grandmother recently passed away so the question of celebrations are ruled out. 

"The first thing I'll do is go and vote. But I'm not celebrating this year. My grandmother passed away recently, and when there's a loss in the family, you don't feel like celebrating," said Varun.
 
After the commercial success of his film 'Main Tera Hero', there are all kinds of distractions around. But Varun is neither partying nor wants to be in a relationship in order to concentrate on work. 

"Right now, I am staying away from girls as much as I can. They are a distraction. I am in the process of starting possibly the toughest film (Sriram Raghavan's untitled next) I've got so far. Due to the kind of preparation required for the role, I need to stay away from such things," smiles Varun.
