  • Varun Dhawan says revealing daughter Lara's face is her and family's choice
  • Varun and Natasha keep Lara's identity private on social media
  • Varun to star in Border 2, releasing January 23, 2026

Bollywood star Varun Dhawan recently stirred conversation during his ongoing #VarunSays fan interaction session on X (formerly Twitter), when a fan asked a tender question about revealing his daughter’s face. The fan wrote, “when reveal lara face ? #varunsays @varun_dvn”, referencing Varun’s daughter Lara, whom he and wife Natasha Dalal welcomed in June 2024. The actor’s response emphasised privacy and choice, making it clear that any decision regarding revealing Lara’s face on social platforms rests with her and his family’s comfort.

Varun replied, “I rather leave that decision with her. Social media should be her choice not something I want to decide for her.”

Varun and Natasha have been deliberately private about their daughter’s identity since her birth. While they occasionally share adorable glimpses and family moments, they have consistently hidden Lara’s face using emojis or camera angles that protect her privacy. In October 2025, Varun shared a rare photo from behind the scenes at a Diwali celebration, but removed it shortly afterward to maintain the boundary between public interest and personal space.

The couple first announced Lara’s name on Kaun Banega Crorepati, where Varun revealed what they named their daughter and spoke about the joys and challenges of fatherhood.

Varun Dhawan is set to appear next in the highly anticipated war drama Border 2, joining a powerful ensemble that also includes Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film serves as a spiritual successor to JP Dutta’s iconic 1997 classic, Border, and is slated for a January 23, 2026, theatrical release, timed to coincide with the Republic Day weekend. Border 2 brings together a mix of seasoned stars and fresh faces as it aims to capture the same patriotic energy and emotional depth that made the original a landmark film in Indian cinema.
