About Varun's personal life
Varun married his longtime girlfriend Natasha Dalal in 2021. Their daughter, Lara, was born in June 2024. Varun only revealed her name in October last year on an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati while talking to Amitabh Bachchan.
Recently, in an interview with PTI, Varun spoke about his daughter, saying, 'Being a father, especially to a daughter, is a transformative experience. It changes your perspective. When I became a father, I recalled my mother's teachings and realised how I could ever be rude to her after seeing how my wife, Natasha Dalal, cares for our daughter. It's been a crazy and wonderful journey".
Varun's work file
In 2024, Varun had cameos in Stree 2 and Munjya as his werewolf character from Bhediya. He also starred in the Hindi remake of Atlee's Vijay-starrer Theri, which was titled Baby John, but the film failed to make a mark. He will soon star in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, which will be released this year, and Border 2, which will hit screens in 2026.

Who is Cameron Norrie's girlfriend? Inside his Wimbledon run and relationship with Louise Jacobi amid Emma Raducanu dating rumours
Cameron Norrie is back in the Wimbledon spotlight, and it's not just his tennis that has people talking. The British No. 3 has been quietly powering through the draw, showing off that signature grit and calm under pressure. But off the court, fans have been curious about the woman often spotted supporting him from the stands—his long-time girlfriend, Louise Jacobi. A solid Wimbledon run for Cameron Norrie Norrie's Wimbledon 2025 campaign is going well so far. He pulled off a big win in the second round, taking out 12th seed Frances Tiafoe in four sets—4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-5—in a match that showed just how composed and strategic he can be when the pressure's on. Then, in the third round, he breezed past Italy's Mattia Bellucci in straight sets (7-6(5), 6-4, 6-3), barely breaking a sweat. He's now into the fourth round and is currently facing a tough opponent in Chile's Nicolás Jarry. The match is still underway, but fans are watching closely, hoping this could be another deep run like his 2022 semifinal appearance. Cameron Norrie responds to Emma Raducanu dating rumours But in the middle of all this tennis talk, Norrie found himself fielding a very different question at a recent press conference. A reporter asked if he was dating fellow British tennis player Emma Raducanu. Caught off guard, he laughed and responded politely but firmly: 'I'm not, no… you can ask her.' The moment was awkward, but also clarified something many fans were wondering, because the woman in Norrie's life is, and has been for years, Louise Jacobi. So cringe it's insane So, who is Louise Jacobi? Louise isn't part of the tennis world professionally, but she's been a big part of Norrie's life since they started dating around 2019, according to Sportskeeda. The two met in New York through mutual friends, and they now live together in Monaco. While Norrie, 30, stays focused on tournaments, Louise, 27, brings a whole different creative energy to the table. She has a background in fine arts from the University of Michigan and went on to study textile and fashion design at London's Central Saint Martins. Career-wise, she's impressive in her own right. Louise has worked for major fashion brands like Calvin Klein and now serves as creative director at a design studio called Please Don't Touch. She also runs her own brand, Studio Virgo, which focuses on fashion accessories and home goods. It's clear she's carving out her own path and doing it stylishly. Though she keeps a low profile, Louise does share snippets of her creative life (and the occasional sweet moment with Cam) on Instagram at @weezcobi. She's also become a familiar face in the player box at big matches, including at this year's Wimbledon. 'Louise is 'very level-headed': Norrie While Norrie is known for his cool head and steady style of play, he's admitted that Louise helps bring even more balance to his life. He's called her 'very level-headed' and 'easy-going,' which sounds like exactly the kind of energy you'd want around when navigating the chaos of the tennis circuit. Meanwhile, as Wimbledon heats up, Cameron Norrie's focus remains on the court. But if you've been wondering who's cheering him on in the stands or who he heads home to after those late-night practice sessions, it's Louise Jacobi. Creative, low-key, and clearly supportive, she's been a steady presence in his life for years. Whether or not this Wimbledon becomes another deep run for Norrie, it's safe to say he's already got something solid off the court.
