Did Varun Dhawan hint in one of his recent posts that celebrity photographer Rohan Shrestha could be soon tying the knot with his rumoured girlfriend Shraddha Kapoor? Varun got married to childhood sweetheart Natasha Dalal on January 24 and his social media post acknowledging Rohan’s congratulations has set tongues wagging. In his response to Rohan’s ‘lucky guy’ comment, Varun wrote, “I truly am. Hope you are ready.”

ETimes spoke to Shraddha’s father, actor Shakti Kapoor about it and he said, “I don’t know what reports and speculations are surfacing on the internet. But I shall always stand by my daughter.” When asked to elaborate on that statement, he added, “That means I’ll stand by every decision she takes in her life, including her marriage. Why only Rohan Shrestha? I will not have any objection to whoever Shraddha wants to marry.”

Talking about Rohan, Shakti said, “He is a nice boy. He does come home, but he has been doing that even during his childhood. Shraddha has not told me about her plans to marry him. To me, they are still just childhood friends. I do not know if they are serious about each other.”

The Shresthas and Kapoors are said to be family friends. Confirming that, Shakti said, “I knew Rohan’s father, Rakesh Shrestha even before he became a photographer. I have not only done several photoshoots with him, but we’ve also gone out together for dinners and drinks. He is a good friend of mine.”

Sometime ago, didn’t Shakti say that he does not see Shraddha getting married for the next two-three years as she is busy with her work? Pat came the reply, “I maintain that, but with time, children grow and take their own decisions. Shraddha is doing well in her career and I am extremely proud of her. She is currently working with Ranbir Kapoor (in Luv Ranjan’s next), who is unarguably my favourite actor in today’s times. He is even my son, Siddhanth’s favourite actor.” He goes on to add, “Shraddha will choose her partner and the time when she wants to get married herself.”
