After Varun Dhawan wed Natasha Dalal, his movie mentor Karan Johar got all emotional.

KJo had launched Varun in the 2012 film Student Of The Year, but their association goes back even further.

'I am filled with a multitude of emotions and memories as I write this post!' Karan wrote.

'I still remember meeting this kid in Goa! Long hair, big dreams in his eyes and a swag that was waiting to explode on celluloid!

'A few years later he was was my assistant on MNIK! I silently observed his determined sincerity and also how hilarious he can be ...sometimes even unintentionally!' Karan added, referring to his Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol-starrer My Name Is Khan.

 

'When he faced the camera for me for the first time I developed an immediately protective feeling of love and care for him..: almost assuming the role of a parent.... that feeling today came alive in abundance as I saw him walk with his loved one around the holy fire of trust and commitment...'

'My boy is all grown up and ready for this beautiful phase in his life... congratulations my darling Natasha and Varun! My blessings and love forever ....love you.'
