Freddy Daruwala: I’m not comfortable talking about my wife and family

Actor Freddy Daruwala doesn’t talk about his family to keep them away from public attention.

Freddy Daruwala is among the few Bollywood actors who prefer to stay guarded about their personal lives. The actor, who shot to fame with his negative role in Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (2014), says his wife and family members are not comfortable staying under the public glare.

Freddy Daruwala plays a negative role in the upcoming Telugu film, Touch Chesi Chudu.

“My family prefers leading a normal life. You won’t find their photos online nor do I share them on social media. My mother still goes out for grocery shopping and bargains with the seller. To keep them away from public attention, I make sure that I don’t speak much about them. If they get recognised, they have to follow a certain lifestyle, and they aren’t ready for it,” says Freddy.

The 33-year-old has been married Crystal Variava, a doctor by profession, for six years now. Although he doesn’t talk much about his wife, Freddy has never kept his relationship hidden. “It’s not that I deny that I am married, but I don’t want to talk about what’s going on in my personal [married] life. I’d rather talk about my work,” he adds.

Freddy shares that when he will eventually have children, he will make sure that they lead a regular life. “I don’t want my kids to grow up on the basis that they are born to a film star. They must lead a life away from all the attention. They should be able to make a name for themselves,” says the actor, who has worked in films such as Force 2 (2016) and Commando 2 (2017).
