Varun Dhawan's latest action film, Baby John is all set for a Christmas release on December 25, 2024. The actor and his castmates have been busy with promotional events over the past few weeks to amp up the excitement for the movie. As part of the same, they appeared on the popular Netflix comedy show, The Great Indian Kapil Show. Varun, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, Atlee, and Kalees were all featured in the episode, which was all things fun. Varun, who became a father this year, in June 2024, also opened up how his life has changed since his baby girl was born.
Varun Dhawan and his wife, Natasha Dalal welcomed their little princess into the world on June 3, 2024, and life has changed for them in several unexpected ways. The actor, who recently appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show, talked about these changes and got candid about the ups and downs of parenthood. Varun left audiences in splits of laughter when he revealed that he was now scolded by two women instead of one. He revealed:
"Pehle ek aurat daat ti thi, ab do aurate daat ti hai. Ab toh main bhi seekh hi raha hu, burp karna, swaddle karna."
Varun's honest and hilarious admissions of feeling terrified when his daughter cried deeply resonated with the audience, who empathised with him even as they burst out laughing. The actor further confessed that sometimes, when his daughter started crying late at night, and he was really tired, he would only pretend to wake up while hoping his wife would take care of her. Leaving the audience in splits, Varun revealed:
"Suddenly awaaz aati hai aur aap bohot thake hue ho — aur I’m sure most of the fathers aise hi honge sab — toh sab bohot thake hue hai aur wah wah awaaz aane lagti hai aur aap apne patni ko dekhte ho jo bohot thaki hui hai kyuki wo 24/7 bacchi ke sath hai. Aap acting karte ho utne ki, main ja raha hu, main ja raha hu, or wo chali jaati, I’ll say okay, okay, so jaata hu. Nahi, nahi, but fir chale hi jaate ho kyuki dil ghabra jaata hai."
Varun's revelations also struck a chord with host, Kapil Sharma, who reflected on his experience when fathering a newborn. Kapil confessed that the same thing happened to him as neither his wife nor his mother used to wake up at home. He had been used to sleeping whenever he wanted and waking up late. However, Kapil stated that once you have a baby, you don't mind even if your sleep is disrupted.
