Varun Dhawan has been in the spotlight again following the arrival of Border 2 on Netflix. Alongside professional updates, the actor recently spoke about a deeply personal chapter involving his daughter Lara’s health.
During a recent episode of Be A Man, Yaar!, Varun revealed that his daughter was diagnosed with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip when she was around one-and-a-half years old. He shared that she later underwent a medical procedure and is now recovering.
"My daughter was diagnosed with DDH, in which the hip slips out of the hip socket. Ek pair lamba chota hojaata hai jiski wajah se walk tedi hojaati hai (One leg becomes shorter than the other, which causes an uneven limp while walking). You can't walk or run properly," said Varun.
He further added, "You get Arthritis early, slip disc early. West main iska bahut accha treatement hota hai birth pe hi. India main har jagah nahin hai itna. But yahan bhi bahut acche doctors hai jo iska care karte hain (In the West, this condition is treated very well from birth itself. In India, that level of treatment is not available everywhere yet. But there are also many excellent doctors here who take care of it). She didn't need to do surgery. With one procedure they could put the hip back. But she had to be in a spica cast. That means she had to be in cast for 2.5 months, which is extremely difficult. To put her in anaesthesia and then she woke up in a cast. Now the cast is out. I want to write a book on it."
Varun married Natasha Dalal on January 24, 2021. The couple welcomed their daughter Lara on June 3, 2024.
On the professional front, Varun was last seen on the big screen in Border 2. He will next appear in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, which marks his reunion with filmmaker David Dhawan. The film also stars Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur and is scheduled to release on June 12, 2026.
