Sources close to Varun Dhawan say that the actor finally plans to make his relationship with long-term girlfriend Natasha Dalal official by the end of this year.

“I think Varun has become more conscious of the commitment required in a relationship after working on Shoojit Sircar’s October. He is ready to acknowledge his relationship and take it to the next level,” says a friend of the young actor.

So far, Varun has shied away from any public acknowledgment of his relationship. He had once even quipped that the man with Natasha was his twin brother. Varun’s parents will support their son’s decision whenever he plans to settle down. 

But, the couple will not be living with Varun’s parents after marriage. Varun had bought his own place last year and Natasha has been doing it up at her own pace.

“They are in no hurry to make it official, but Varun feels it is high time he acknowledged his relationship,” says the friend.
