“The biggest challenge these days is to parent your parents”: Varun Dhawan

As an actor, Varun Dhawan is anticipating the arrival of Amar Kaushik’s Bhediya and Raj Mehta’s Jug Jugg Jeeyo in 2022. He is additionally raring to go out there and start work on his forthcoming projects. Nonetheless, taking a look at the current situation, he believes that maintaining health and safety consistently is a challenge, particularly for individuals in his profession who not just need to get out of their homes yet also be without a mask while facing the camera.

As an obedient son, the actor has been looking after his mother Laali and father, director David Dhawan, making it a habit to remind them about COVID security precautions. “My parents follow all the norms that one has to in these circumstances, but as a son, I am worried whenever they decide to step out for anything at all. I make it my duty to constantly check on them – if they’ve worn their masks properly, if they’ve carried sanitisers, and so on. The biggest challenge these days is to parent your parents, be hawk-eyed towards them like they were when you were a child. These times are tough on us but they’re tougher on our elders. I want to get on to a platform and tell all elderly parents that they have to listen to their children when they talk about safety measures and follow them.”
