A considerably private person, Varun Dhawan and fashion designer girlfriend Natasha Dalal have remained tight-lipped about their relationship status. Often spotted together for years, Dhawan has kept a stubborn silence on his relation with Dalal. However, in a recent interview, the actor finally broke silence and has admitted that they are indeed in a relationship. When said that of late he seems to be getting more comfortable about being seen in public with Natasha that before, Dhawan said, “I didn't care about all this even before. If you dig up some files from three years back, you'll see us together at several places. I've always been comfortable about it. The idea was to make the other person comfortable. Not everyone is born in the industry. So not everyone’s excited to be part of the glamour world.”
Regarding her influence on his life, he said, “Actually, I decided to do films like 'Badlapur' or 'October' because of her. It's because of her and some of our friends that I do slightly different films. They like such kind of cinema. What's special about our relationship is that I have someone, who isn't with me just because I'm an actor. It's amazing to have someone like that in our life. We bond over each other and that's the main thing. We've known each other for too long, so the connection is deep. It's like family. It's always been so.” Dhawan added that his first love is films. “After that come Natasha, my family and my friends. I just don't make relationships to let go of them.”
