Varun Dhawan shares his daughter has been diagnosed with DDH
In an interview with the Be A Man, Yaar! podcast, Varun Dhawan revealed, “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 (One leg becomes longer or shorter than the other, because of which the walking becomes uneven). You can’t walk or run properly.”In the same conversation, the actor added, “You get arthritis early, slip disc early.”He further shared, “West main iska bahut accha treatment hota hai birth pe hi India main har jagah nahi hai itna. But yahan bhi bahut acche doctors hain jo iska care karte hain (In the West, there is very good treatment for this right from birth, but in India it’s not available everywhere to that extent. However, there are also very good doctors here who take care of it).”
Varun Dhawan shared that his daughter didn’t need any kind of surgery during this treatment. He said, “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 anesthesia, and then she woke up in a cast. Now the cast is out. I want to write a book on it.”The actor urged every parent out there to pay attention to their children’s movement and go for a checkup if they see anything unusual.Varun asked his fans not to show him sympathy for this, as he shared about the situation just to make people in India aware related to DDH. He added that DDH is curable if diagnosed during the baby’s development.
