'I now watch TV at a really low volume… or my wife will throw me out': Varun Dhawan
Varun Dhawan
is stepping into an exciting new phase as he gears up for his new film Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari where he teams up with
Shashank Khaitan
once again after Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania.
The film is releasing on 2nd October where it is clashing with Rishabh Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1. The year 2024 was also an exciting phase for the actor as he not only made his OTT debut with Citadel: Honey Bunny but also became a father.
In an exclusive conversation with ETimes, Varun opened up about embracing fatherhood. The actor and his wife
Natasha Dalal
welcomed their first child, a baby girl Lara. Talking about the initial days of bringing Lara home Varun said 'I'm still figuring it out,' Varun admitted candidly.
'Like how responsible I have to be, or how much of a kid I can still be or can be... I think men tend to go through this. Right now Natasha is doing everything, I have to give her credit. The woman does practically everything initially, the man then comes in and becomes useful.
'
While he says he's still learning the ropes, Varun seems to be enjoying every bit of this new role. 'I'm just enjoying playing with her. Being a dad is a lot of fun right now, and every day I'm trying to be a better dad… I don't think I'm there yet,' he shared.

The entire Pokemon TCG Pocket Ho-Oh card controversy explained
Image via The Pokemon Company. The Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion is here in Pokemon TCG Pocket. This expansion has brought so much new content into the game first-partner Pokemon Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile. Not only that, new trainers from the Johta region have also been added. However, the highlight of the expansion has to be legendary Pokemons - Lugia and Ho-Oh. But who have ever thought that one of these two cards would have been the reason for the biggest controversy in the game's history, that too, before the actual release of the expansion. Pokemon TCG Pocket gets slammed by plagiarism controversy The Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion has dropped on July 30, 2025, in Pokemon TCG Pocket. But one day prior to that, the dataminers already leaked the highly anticipated rare cards for Ho-Oh EX (3-Star) and Lugia EX (3-Star). And this is where all the controversy began. The community noticed that the design of the Ho-Oh card holds uncanny similarities with a 2021 fan artwork by Chinese artists Ianjiujiu. This comparison sparked serious altercations as if the company used this design unintentionally or it didn't care to take any permission at all. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Even the artist himself went on to share a side-by-side comparison tweet of his work and the new Ho-Oh EX card in the game. It didn't take too long for Pokemon TCG Pocket to acknowledge its mistake as the official Twitter handle of the game has recently shared its response regarding the ongoing controversy. It says this is actually a 'production issue' by the card production team and it provided 'incorrect reference materials as official documents' , which happened to be the artwork by Ianjiujiu. The company also stated that both Ho-Oh EX and Lugia EX had been replaced by temporary placeholder cards displaying 'New art coming soon.' There has been no problem with the design of Lugia EX but as its animation featured Ho-Oh as part of a shared mural. So, Lugia's design was also removed as well. It is ensured by the company that it will conduct a broader investigation so that no similar issues ever exist elsewhere in the game. If it was any other card, there wouldn't have been this much controversy as Pokemon TCG Pocket would have pulled them out from the game. But both Ho-Oh EX and Lugia EX are one of the rarest cards in the game and both share each other's Immersive Art Animation. That's why this situation escalated so high.
