In a recent appearance on the chat show Too Much with Twinkle Khanna and Kajol, Varun Dhawan opened up about his personal life, sharing intimate insights about his relationship with Natasha Dalal.

He reminisced, "I fell in love in Natasha when I was in 5th standard, when I saw her for the first time at the basketball court the first time…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.'"

Varun Dhawan also reflected on how his dog Joey shaped him as a person and prepared him for fatherhood. "I personally changed a lot after I got my dog Joey. He would poop and pee…I came to a point where I could do anything for Joey. And I don’t say this in front of the camera to sound cool but I don’t differentiate between my dog and my child. It’s the first time I have had a dog. That bond which I have with him, I don’t think I can have that bond with any other living being," he shared.

On the work front, Varun Dhawan is currently gearing up for Border 2.
