Actor Varun Dhawan and his wife, Natasha Dalal, have joyfully welcomed their first child, a baby girl. The news was shared by Varun’s father, renowned filmmaker David Dhawan, with paparazzi outside Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai. Varun’s mother, Lalli, also expressed her gratitude to the photographers as they extended their congratulations.
Stepping outside the hospital with his father, Varun acknowledged the warm wishes of fans and photographers with a thumbs-up gesture. Dressed casually in a white T-shirt and blue track pants, he posed for pictures but refrained from answering any questions.
The couple, who married in an intimate ceremony in 2021, first announced their pregnancy in February. They shared a heartfelt image on Instagram, featuring Varun kissing Natasha’s baby bump, accompanied by the caption, “We are pregnant, need all your blessings and love #myfamilymystrength.”
The announcement of their daughter’s birth has been met with an outpouring of joy from fans and celebrities alike. Karan Johar, who launched Varun’s career in “Student of the Year,” expressed his excitement on Instagram, writing, “My baby had a baby girl!!!! I am over the moooooooon!!!! Congratulations to the proud mama and papa!!! Love you Natasha and Varun.” Arjun Kapoor also shared his enthusiasm, posting, “Baby John had a baby !!! Papa number 1 casting is now locked finally !!! Congratulations Natasha & @varundvn. Niyara Abheer & Joey have a sister…”
Priyanka Chopra, Varun’s “Citadel” co-star Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Parineeti Chopra were among the many who sent their best wishes. Priyanka wrote, “Congratulations. Wohoooo,” while Samantha added, “The bestest news. Congratulations to you both.”
In a heartwarming Instagram post, Varun officially announced the birth of their daughter, affectionately referred to as “Baby Dhawan.” The post featured a whimsical video-card showing their pet dog Joey riding a hot air balloon surrounded by flowers and gifts. Varun wrote, “Our baby girl is here. Thank you for all the good wishes for the mama and the baby. Hare Ram, Hare Ram, Ram Ram Hare Hare. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.” The date of birth, June 3, 2024, was also mentioned in the post.
Despite the couple’s fame, they have always maintained a relatively private life. Varun and Natasha, who have known each other since school, have shared a deep and enduring bond. It wasn’t until 2019, during an appearance on “Koffee with Karan,” that Varun publicly confirmed their relationship. Natasha, a successful fashion designer with her own label, Natasha Dalal Label, has managed to keep a low profile, focusing on her career and personal life despite being in the limelight.
The couple’s journey to parenthood has been closely followed by fans and the media, especially after they hosted a baby shower attended by close friends, including Shahid Kapoor’s wife, Mira Rajput. The intimate event saw Varun and Natasha in matching white outfits, celebrating their upcoming arrival with loved ones.
As the new parents settle into this exciting chapter, they have requested privacy to cherish these precious moments with their newborn daughter. The entire Bollywood fraternity and their fans continue to shower them with love and blessings, celebrating the arrival of Baby Dhawan.
