And of course, he spoke about the first moment of seeing his baby daughter's face, how he has to sometimes force his wife to relax, and what being a parent has taught him. This conversation will help you understand Varun Dhawan, the man behind the star. Laugh along with his jokes, and get a glimpse of his gentle thoughts.
