The ultimate chocolate boy of Bollywood - Varun Dhawan - turns 31 today. Born on April 24, 1987, Varun is one of the most handsome and talented actors in B-Town. From Student of the Year, Main Tera Hero to ABCD 2; from Badlapur to Judwaa 2 and now October - Varun has essayed such vivid and unusual characters onscreen.

If you go to see, he is the ONLY actor of his generation to have taken such a huge risk. I mean, it isn't easy to be able to fit into such extremely different characters and be able to pull them off with such consummate ease. Of course, he isn't perfect and there are roles that you wish he hadn't played; films that he hadn't done; but then, all that has only added to his Bollywood journey so far!

In the last six years that Varun has worked in the Hindi film industry, we have seen him share screen-space with Alia Bhatt- the most and well, the audience have loved their chemistry everytime they come together. Also, his camaraderie with Shraddha Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kriti Sanon and Ileana D'Cruz too, has been something that has left the audience highly impressed.

The October actor will now be seen in Sui Dhaaga, paired opposite Anushka Sharma, and in a dance drama with Katrina Kaif. Now, this leaves us with quite a few actresses who we haven't seen him with, but would love to! So, on Varun Dhawan's 31st birthday today, we take a look at the five actresses who we would love to see him romance on-screen:

1. Janhvi Kapoor

Janhvi is a fresh face and we think she and Varun would be the ideal romantic couple of Bollywood. Janhvi's innocence and Varun's charm in a totally fresh love story is something that we bet the audience would love to see. Let's hope the filmmakers are listening!

2. Sara Ali Khan

Sara and Varun could possibly feature in a rom-com directed by David Dhawan. We think they would complement each other, pretty well. In fact, if you remember, recently the shutterbugs caught Sara Ali Khan leaving the building that had Varun Dhawan's office. The visit made many wonder if it was a casual meeting or if there is something brewing. Can we expect a movie announcement soon?

3. Parineeti Chopra

Fans were left spellbound by Pari and Varun's crackling chemistry in 'Jaanemann Aah' (Dishoom). Imagine, what impact would they create if they feature in a full-fledged film together. They have always shared an amazing rapport, which is pretty much evident onscreen. A film featuring the two would only make way for a wider fan following for them both.

4. Deepika Padukone

This is going to be one unusual pair but hey, that's what has worked the most in the last few years. Deepika is a goddamn diva and Varun is a hottie himself. Together, these two could create fireworks onscreen! Don't you guys agree?

5. Sonam Kapoor

The idea of Sonam Kapoor and Varun Dhawan in a movie together may not appeal everyone but we think we would want to see them in a mature love story. Maybe our very own Shoojit da could pen down the story?
