Varun Dhawan welcomed his first child with his wife Natasha Dalal in June 2024. The couple is enjoying this new chapter of parenthood, but Varun has yet to reveal his baby girl’s name or face. However, his niece Anjini Dhawan recently shared a sweet insight about the little one. Speaking to Filmygyan, Anjini expressed her admiration for the baby, saying, "She is a doll, and she looks exactly like Bhaiya [Varun Dhawan]." She also added that the little girl is just one month old, so there isn't much advice she can offer at this stage, except to let her grow into her own person.
Varun’s wish to have a baby girl was no secret. During an appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 5, he openly shared his desire to have a daughter one day. When asked by host Karan Johar what Shahid Kapoor had that he didn’t, Varun playfully responded, "I don't want his baby girl. I want my own."
