On falling in love with Natasha and fatherhood
Varun has always been a dedicated family man. In a candid chat with Twinkle Khanna and Kajol on their talk show Too Much, he revealed their love story. He said, “I fell in love in Natasha when I was in 5th standard, when I saw her for the first time at the basketball court… In school we didn’t take it seriously but when we became friends, I found her to be kind and an amazing human being, which I felt I didn’t have those traits. So, I always looked up to her for the traits she has as a human being. I just stare at her playing with Lara and then she says, ‘Stop staring, now you hold her.’”

When I became a father, I recalled my mother's teachings and realised how I could ever be rude to her after seeing how my wife, Natasha Dalal, cares for our daughter. It's been a crazy and wonderful journey.”
