In a recent interview to Filmfare, talking about his marriage plans with girlfriend Natasha Dalal, Varun Dhawan revealed that, “If things settle down (Coronavirus and its impact), then maybe this year. I mean… I am planning for it definitely soon. But let there be more certainty.” Ever since he spoke about his wedding plans, there have been constant speculations about Varun and Natasha’s big day. A few days ago, it was reported that the couple would be tying the knot at the end of this month.

Talking to Bombay Times, Varun’s uncle and actor, Anil Dhawan, says, “Wow, I am surprised. They are marrying this month, and we didn’t know? Are they going to invite us last moment? Itna secret rakh rahe hai kya (laughs!)?”

He further adds, “These stories have been floating around since a long time. Last year, there was buzz that they would be getting married in May. Whatever it is, as a family, we want him to get married soon. I feel this is one ritual you have got to do in time. There is no point prolonging it.”

When prodded further about the wedding date, he says, “We have been telling Varun to skip plans of hosting grand celebrations, and instead, opt for a simple, intimate ceremony aur bas ladki ko jaldi ghar le aao (smiles!).”
