Varun Dhawan Reveals Daughter Lara's DDH Diagnosis at 1.5 Years: 'Walk Tedhi Hojaati Hai'

• Varun Dhawan's daughter Lara was diagnosed with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) at 1.5 years old.

• The condition can result in early arthritis and slip disc if not treated; in India, treatment is improving but not universally available.
• Lara underwent a procedure to put her hip back in place and was in a spica cast for 2.5 months, avoiding surgery.
• Varun also shared an emotional moment about his father David Dhawan's resilience during his ICU phase, inspiring him to continue working.
