Actor Varun Dhawan has never really spoken about his relationsh­ip or even addressed link-up reports with rumoured girlfriend Natasha Dalal, which continue to do the rounds each time they are spotted together, such as on dinner dates or outings.

While Varun has always maintained that he wants to focus on his work, he agrees it gets tough at times to deal with the gossip. “It (rumours) does play on your mind sometimes, but this year has been very busy and I’m grateful for that. So, I’ve only been working and have not been able to read much stuff written about me,” says Varun, who is riding high on the success of his latest release, Shoojit Sircar’s October.

So, how does he deal with all this? “I just ignore it. I believe you can’t do anything beyond that,” says the actor, adding, “All you can do is make your work so powerful that people don’t have anything else to talk about but your work. Whenever my film releases, I hope people talk about it and not other things.”

The 31-year-old recently said in an interview that he does “believe in the institutio­n of marriage”, so, when asked if he is planning to go public about his relationsh­ip status anytime soon, he quips, “I feel I don’t have to do that. It’s my personal space and that’s how I like it.”

However, Varun is quick to add that there’s still some time before he decides to talk more about his personal life. “Right now, I’m packed with work. I’m shooting for a film and have already signed my next. So, when I have more dates, I’ll talk more [about my relationsh­ip] but right now, I have no dates to go public about anything,” concludes the actor.

I feel I don’t have to do that (go public). It’s my personal space and that’s how I like it. Right now, I’m packed with work. I’m shooting for a film and have already signed my next, so when I have more dates, I’ll talk more [about my relationsh­ip].
