Actor Varun Dhawan, whose latest film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is performing decently at the box office, recently appeared on a special episode of Tanmay Bhat’s YouTube channel alongside Rohan Joshi, Piyush Sharma, Zakir Khan and Aditya Kulshrestha. During the candid conversation, Varun reacted to viral memes about himself and shared several anecdotes from his personal and professional life. He also opened up about his failed attempts to propose to his wife Natasha Dalal.
Varun on how he proposed to Natasha Dalal
Varun Dhawan’s proposal to Natasha Dalal was far from a picture-perfect Bollywood moment. In fact, it was ‘messy’ and backfired several times. Recalling that story, Varun shared, “I had planned to propose to Natasha in Alibaug in a pool. I played Mark Anthony’s song “You Sang to Me.” I had thought we would be swimming in the pool and I would come out with the ring; by the time I moved to get the ring, Natasha had already gone out of the pool. Two to three times I messed up; it’s not like how you see in films; there is no perfect proposal; every time the timing was off.”
He further added, “Eventually, I told a couple of my friends to keep her in one place because she was walking around a lot. If she was at one place, I could go and propose; but she was either going to get a drink or have salad. Eventually, she came to know that I was planning to propose, so it was a bad proposal. I played the song three times back to back.”
Varun Dhawan and Natasha Dalal are childhood sweethearts. According to reports, Varun first met Natasha when they were in sixth grade. Although they started out as close friends, Varun and Natasha eventually started dating. The duo tied the knot in 2021.
Varun Dhawan on wife Natasha Dalal
In 2019, Varun Dhawan got candid about his relationship with Natasha Dalal on Koffee With Karan. He said, “When Natasha and I are concerned, eventually after we get married, and we are together, and all that stuff… she has her own individuality, and that is why I am with her. She has her own voice, which is super strong with things she wants to do and achieve in life, and as her partner, that is something I want to support. She has been very supportive of my career since day one. I have known her since school. We were friends then. Since day one, she has been supportive of my dreams. It has to be the same. From my side, I have to be supportive of her dreams. Eventually, as a couple, you want to evolve together.”
