Varun Dhawan reveals he gets scolded by two women instead of one since becoming a father
Varun Dhawan and his wife, Natasha Dalal welcomed their little princess into the world on June 3, 2024, and life has changed for them in several unexpected ways. The actor, who recently appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show, talked about these changes and got candid about the ups and downs of parenthood. Varun left audiences in splits of laughter when he revealed that he was now scolded by two women instead of one. He revealed:
“Pehle ek aurat daat ti thi, ab do aurate daat ti hai. Ab toh main bhi seekh hi raha hu, burp karna, swaddle karna.”
Varun Dhawan says he pretends to wake up when he’s tired his daughter starts crying late at night
Varun’s honest and hilarious admissions of feeling terrified when his daughter cried deeply resonated with the audience, who empathised with him even as they burst out laughing. The actor further confessed that sometimes, when his daughter started crying late at night, and he was really tired, he would only pretend to wake up while hoping his wife would take care of her. Leaving the audience in splits, Varun revealed:
“Suddenly awaaz aati hai aur aap bohot thake hue ho — aur I’m sure most of the fathers aise hi honge sab — toh sab bohot thake hue hai aur wah wah awaaz aane lagti hai aur aap apne patni ko dekhte ho jo bohot thaki hui hai kyuki wo 24/7 bacchi ke sath hai. Aap acting karte ho utne ki, main ja raha hu, main ja raha hu, or wo chali jaati, I’ll say okay, okay, so jaata hu. Nahi, nahi, but fir chale hi jaate ho kyuki dil ghabra jaata hai.”
Varun’s revelations also struck a chord with host, Kapil Sharma, who reflected on his experience when fathering a newborn. Kapil confessed that the same thing happened to him as neither his wife nor his mother used to wake up at home. He had been used to sleeping whenever he wanted and waking up late. However, Kapil stated that once you have a baby, you don’t mind even if your sleep is disrupted.

When Varun Dhawan confessed to feeling guilty every day since his baby girl, Lara was born
Earlier, in a heartfelt interaction with GQ India, Varun Dhawan revealed that becoming a father had instantly changed him. However, it also instilled in him an immense sense of guilt as his busy work schedule often kept him away from his wife, Natasha and his baby girl, Lara.
2024 has been busy for Varun as he hopped from promoting projects like Citadel: Honey Bunny and Baby John to filming projects like Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and his father’s film, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. His packed schedule has left the actor with little time to spend at home since his daughter was born. When asked whether this made him feel guilty about missing out on the early months of Lara’s life, Varun honestly admitted:
“There’s a lot of guilt. I feel that every day. I feel that when I work. I feel like I’m not there.”
