But now the actor has finally opened up and admitted that he is indeed in a relationship with Natasha.
Speaking to Filmfare, Varun Dhawan clarified that he has always kept Natasha out of the public view because she is uncomfortable about it. “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. Everyone is not born in the industry. So everyone’s not as excited to be part of the glamour world.”
