He was recently rushed to hospital after his health suddenly declined to a significant degree, sending alarm bells ringing among family, friends, and well-wishers across the industry and in the media.
In fact, he had to be admitted due to complications related to his advanced-stage diabetes, for which he has previously been hospitalized. The good news is that David Dhawan has returned home now and is said to be recovering well. As relieved as Varun Dhawan must be after seeing his father recover, he also acknowledged the incident caused him mental anguish.
With David Dhawan ill, Varun Dhawan finds it difficult
He told ETimes that he was doing better after returning home after spending seven days in the hospital, and his close friend Ratan Jain echoed his sentiments. David Dhawan’s son, Bollywood star Varun Dhawan, told times that it is hard to balance his work and his commitment to his father’s health, but he is going all out to ensure that neither is neglected. In addition to expressing gratitude for his father’s return home, he said that it’s difficult to work when one’s father is ill, adding that his father would always want him to honor his professional obligations.
Varun and Rohit Dhawan watched over David Dhawan in hospital
A source also informed ETimes that Varun Dhawan and elder brother Rohit Dhawan (who’s also a Director) were watching over their father at night in the hospital while their mother took care of the day shift. We can see how that could prove taxing to Varun with a choc-a-bloc schedule for Jug Jugg Jeeyo’s promotions.
