During a Zoom chat during the promotions of Baby John, Varun Dhawan was asked about what life is like being a father to a daughter and he said, “Being a father is one, especially when a man is the father of a daughter. Becoming a father is a very different thing. Realizing this, your thinking starts changing completely.
(There’s something special about being a father, especially when a man becomes a father to a girl. It’s a very unique experience. It completely shakes you, making you realize how much your thinking changes. You start remembering all the things your mother used to teach you in your childhood.)
Dhawan further added, “So, the moment Natasha gave birth, the first thought that came to my body and soul was: How can I be bad towards my father? How can one talk badly to one’s mother? , who raised me for 9 months—especially after seeing what Natasha had done for my child.”
(How can one speak harshly to the mother who raised them for nine months—especially after seeing what Natasha has done to my child?)
He said that it was a crazy and amazing experience. Having a daughter taught him a lot about life and what it really means to be a man. He told that the dialogue of his film “Aa ab haath laga ke dikha meri beti ko” came straight from his heart.
