Varun Dhawan recently spoke about a personal and emotional phase in his life involving his daughter, Lara. The actor shared that she was diagnosed with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip when she was around one and a half years old.
His revelation surprised many fans and gave insight into a difficult time for his family.
Talking about the condition, Varun explained, "My daughter was diagnosed with DDH, in which the hip slips out of the hip socket. Ek pair lamba chota hojaata hai jiski wajah se walk tedi hojaati hai”. He also spoke about the long term effects if not treated properly, including early arthritis and slip disc issues.
He further said, "You get Arthritis early, slip disc early. West main iska bahut accha treatement hota hai birth pe hi India main har jagah nahi hai itna. But yahan bhi bahut acche doctors hai jo iska care karte hain (In the West, this condition is treated very well from birth itself. In India, that level of treatment is not available everywhere yet. But there are also many excellent doctors here who take care of it). She didn't need to do a surgery. With one procedure they could put the hip back. But she had to be in a spica cast. That means she had to be in cast for 2.5 months. Which is extremely difficult. To put her in anaesthesia and then she woke up in a cast. Now the cast is out. I want to write a book on it.”
