Varun Dhawan on being a girl dad
During a recent chat with Zoom, Varun Dhawan revealed that the first thought that came to him after Natasha gave birth to Lara was, "How could I have been mean to my father? Koi apni maa ke saath buri tarah kaise baat kar sakta hai, jinhone 9 mahine mujhe pala—especially after seeing what Natasha has done for my baby."
When asked how his life is after being a father to a girl child, the Baby John actor said, "Ek hota hai, being a father, especially when a man becomes a father to a girl child. Wo bohot hi alag cheez hoti hai. Poora insan hil jata hai, realizing that your thinking changes completely. Jo mummy aapko bachpan me sikha rahi thi, wo saari cheezein wapas aapke dimaag me aane lagti hain." (There’s something about being a father, especially when a man becomes a father to a girl child. It’s a very unique experience. It shakes you completely, making you realize how much your thinking changes. All the things your mother used to teach you during childhood start coming back to your mind.)

Varun further added that he has learned a lot and understood what being a man truly meant after his daughter came to his life. He added that the dialogue in his movie Baby John, “aa ab haath laga ke dikha meri beti ko,” had come straight from his heart.
Meanwhile, Baby John is an upcoming action drama which is directed by Kalees. While Varun Dhawan plays the main lead in the action-packed film, it also stars Keerthy Suresh (who is set to mark her debut in Hindi cinema), Wamiqa Gabbi, Zara Zyanna, and Jackie Shroff. It is scheduled to hit theatres on December 25, 2024.
