Varun Dhawan’s latest film, Dharma Productions Jug Jugg Jeeyo, directed by Raj Mehta, is set to release soon. It’s a family drama that deals with relationships.

The actor talks about his family and the strong bond he shares with them all.

Excerpts from an interview:

Q Do you understand the meaning of a relationships better, especially after marriage?

My relationship with everyone has always been good as I’m an easy going person. Patience, understanding and divinity helps you sail through successfully in any relationship. The view point of a person has to come in. It’s like a partnership. That’s the same with parents.

Q How much has Varun changed after marriage? When does your wife get annoyed with you?

I try to keep up my responsibilities towards my family. If you don’t fulfill your responsibilities then of course your wife will shout at you. But if you offer her tea in the morning and keep saying sorry from time to time she will remain in a good mood.

Marriage is amazing. Natasha and I are happy together. It feels great and it’s like a partnership. It’s my responsibility to be a good husband as she is a good wife.

Q As a boyfriend and now husband, what changes does she find in you?

She doesn’t find any changes in me, she finds me the same. I also feel I’m still the same. Since her maternal house is close by, sometimes when I’m aboard busy shooting, and I call her up to inquire about her wellbeing, ask her where she is, instantly she responds “In my house.”

So I keep reminding her this is also your house now. My wife still has this feeling of your house and my house! (laughs)

Marriage is amazing. Natasha and I are happy together. It feels great and it’s a partnership. It’s my responsibilty to be a good husband as she is a good wife. She praises my work and certain qualities I posses. It’s a mix of criticism and appreciation which keeps me grounded

Q Who is your biggest critic at home?

My wife Natasha likes to criticise, but it’s good that she points out certain specific points. She also praises my work and certain qualities that I possess so it’s a mix of criticism as well appreciation which keeps me balanced.

Q How was your relationship with Anil Kapoor and Neetu Singh Kapoor during the making of the film?

Anilji and Neetuji I have known from my childhood. But I’m working with them for the first time. When they came on the sets I had to make my own relationship. Anil sir is full of masti and loves to keep a healthy, enjoyable atmosphere on the sets.

During the pandemic we learned family means everything. Earlier, I would not feel it’s important to be with parents but having gone through this situation, we realised these moments are so important, as we all saw death so closely. So the importance of family and my parents has increased manifold in my life.

Q How is your relationship with your father?

Every minute you spend with your father is priceless. I remember, during my childhood days when I would be running temperature, I was obsessed with a game and he would bring it for me because I was unwell. He would feel so nervous. I couldn’t understand why but now that I am older I understand.

As a son now I get worried when he is running temperature. I realise when your loved ones are sick why one panics and gets worried?

After turning 30 I have understood the worries of parents towards their children whenever they are unwell and face any problems. Relationships change as you grow.
