The converse statement is false. For a counterexample, let each $X_i$ be discrete with pmf,

$$f_i = \begin{cases}1-\frac{1}{i}, & x=0\\
$$f_i = \begin{cases}1-\frac{1}{i}, & x=0 \\
\frac{1}{2i}, &x \in \{-i, i \}\\
0, &\text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$

$$V[X_i] = E[ (X_i - 0)^2 ] = E[X_i^2] = \sum_{x \in Supp[X_i]} x^2 f_i(x) = (-i)^2 \frac{1}{2i} + (0)^2(1 - \frac{1}{i}) + (i)^2 \frac{1}{2i} = \frac{i}{2}$$

Hence, as $i \to \infty$, $V[X_i] \to \infty$, not to zero as required by the statement.
