Varun Dhawan Names Newborn Daughter ‘Lara’, Makes Big Reveal On KBC 16; Know Its Meaning Here – News18
Last Updated:
KBC 16: Bollywood star Varun Dhawan also asked Amitabh Bachchan about his own experiences with parenting.
Varun Dhawan welcomed his first child, a baby girl, with Natasha Dalal in June 2024.
Varun Dhawan sent fans into a frenzy earlier this year when he announced that his wife, Natasha Dalal, was expecting their first child. Since February, excitement has been building, and fans eagerly awaited the arrival of the little one. The big day came on June 3, as the couple welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world. Fans caught their first glimpse of the newborn when Natasha left the hospital, cradling the newest member of their family.
In a recent appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) Season 16, Varun sat down with legendary host Amitabh Bachchan, joined by director Raj from the renowned Raj & DK duo. The episode took a sentimental turn when Amitabh inquired about Varun’s new journey into fatherhood. Big B warmly remarked, “This Diwali must be special for you with Goddess Lakshmi herself arriving at your home.” This led to the big reveal, as Varun announced his daughter’s name — “Lara”.
With a proud smile, Varun said, “We named her Lara. I’m still learning to connect with her; as you said, everything changes when a baby comes home.”
Varun also asked Amitabh about his own experiences with parenting. “Did you manage to get enough sleep, or did the baby keep you up?” he asked, prompting a laugh from Big B. Reminiscing, Amitabh shared that, back in the day, a new gadget would alert them if the baby made even the slightest noise. “It was a relief to have, and it kept us assured,” he chuckled.
Varun then sought some golden parenting advice, especially on balancing schedules with a newborn. Amitabh’s response was classic yet wise: “Keep your wife happy. If she’s content, everything else will fall into place. And remember, with a happy wife, your daughter will be happy too. In a family, ‘wife is supreme.’”
What Does Name “Lara” Mean?
The name “Lara” has multiple origins and meanings across different cultures. In Latin, Lara is often derived from “Larunda,” a mythological figure associated with household deities and protection. It symbolises guardian spirit or protection. In Russian, Lara is a short form of the name Larisa, which means cheerful or happy. Some interpretations link it to the Greek word “laros,” which means sweet or pleasant.
Overall, Lara is associated with qualities like protection, joy and sweetness — attributes that make it a fitting, endearing name for a child.
