Varun Dhawan graced Koffee with Karan 9, where he opened up about fatherhood and how life has changed since welcoming his daughter, Lara. He also reflected on how his Student of the Year co-stars Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra are parents to daughters, recalling their early days on the film. Varun further praised Ranbir Kapoor's parenting skills.

Varun on parenthood

When Karan asked Varun how he felt coming to the show for the first time after becoming a father, Varun said, "A lot has changed. My mornings are very different now. Like earlier, I used to have a lot of time to myself in the morning, but now when I get up, I have my two-year-old running, jumping, trying to slide in the wrong way. So Natasha and I are almost like fielders. But it's fun. Just seeing the joy and the pureness in a child just brings a lot of joy to your heart."

During the same conversation, Karan realised that all three actors - Alia Bhatt, Varun and Sidharth Malhotra - were blessed with daughters.

Varun then recalled the SOTY days and said, "Since we did Student of the Year, it's strange that she had always mentioned that she would love to have a child. And I would find it bizarre because she was a kid herself. She always spoke about children and wanting to have kids and all that stuff."

Varun then added, "When I see Ranbir [Kapoor] as a parent, he is amazing. He is so good as a father that I feel like, really ashamed! I am also good, but Lara and I get into a lot of fights!" While Karan was startled by the revelation, Varun explained, "She is obsessed with Michael Jackson right now. She listens to ‘Beat It' like 68 times, and I want to listen to something else other than that."

When Varun opened up about Lara's health

In a conversation at We Are Yuvaa, Varun had revealed that when Lara was 1.5 years old, she was diagnosed with DDH. He said, "My daughter was diagnosed with DDH, in which the hip slips out of the hip socket. You can't walk or run properly. She had to be in a cast for 2.5 months, which is extremely difficult."
