Salman Khan calling him "praa" shows how close they were. Varinder was truly an inspiration for many young Punjabis who want to make it big in fitness and films. Gone too soon 😢

While it's sad, I wish media would focus more on heart health awareness rather than just celebrity reactions. Cardiac arrests in young people are becoming too common in India.

Saw him in Tiger 3 - had a great screen presence. It's tragic when talented people leave us so early. Hope his family gets strength to bear this loss. Om Shanti 🕊️

This is really scary for all fitness enthusiasts. Makes you wonder if extreme bodybuilding puts too much strain on the heart. Everything in moderation, I guess. Rest in peace, Varinder ji.
