Varun Sharma made moviegoers fall in love with his character Choocha from the Fukrey franchise owing to his funny expressions. So, on World Emoji Day today, he emotes his funniest expressions as he shoots for us.

"Emojis are a language now, insaan ka mood pata chal jaata hai," says Sharma.
He adds, "If you have an argument with someone, you know the replies are cold when they put the slightly smiling face emoji. Toh aapko pata chal jaata hai ki banda chidh gaya hai. I use a lot of heart emojis. I have certain friends who only talk through emojis - 60% text mein aur 40% emojis! It's a great secret language."
The 34-year-old, who was recently seen in the film Wild Wild Punjab, says besides the heart emoji, he also uses the rolling eyes emoji quite frequently.
But his mother's favourite is "the namaste and hug wala". Sharma adds, "Like every family, we, too, have a family WhatsApp group, where I message when my flight is about to take off or when I land. The folded hands emoji and the hug emoji from her mean a lot to me."
Rishabh Suri is an Assistant Editor, film critic, and professional overthinker of plot points. He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
