Varun Saranga was born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario. He became interested in acting during high school through filmmaking, directing and starring in various student films. After attending an open call at 18 and landing his first major role playing the geeky but lovable AJ Mehta on the hit YTV show How to Be Indie, he was inspired to pursue an acting career professionally. Many roles followed, such as CBC's Schitt's Creek, Workin' Moms and Strays, CTV's Nurses, Hulu's Endlings, and regular roles on Burden of Truth, Carter and most notably, the People's Choice Award-Winning Wynonna Earp. Varun will appear this year in 'Daniel's Got to Die' starring the late Bob Saget, in SyFy's 'SurrealEstate' and the final season of the HBO Max series 'Sort Of' starring Bilal Baig. He completed the CBC Actors Conservatory program at the prestigious Canadian Film Centre in Toronto, holds a degree in Political Science from York University, and is currently doing his Masters in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.
