Tarun opened up about becoming parents in an interaction with Hindustan Times. He told the publication, "Tanya and I go back a really long way. She is 32 and I am turning 38 this year. We were very clear that we wanted a child soon, so I think the moment we got married, we were like, let’s get to work now. It was definitely a planned pregnancy.”


Sharing that he wanted to keep the news to themselves and not tell the world, Tarun added, "We felt now was the right time to share the news and even if we didn’t announce it, people would have known because of the bump.”

Virwani also shed light on his 'paternal instint' and said, "Even in my 20s, if I met a child, an infant or any friend’s kid, I would feel so protective of them, and go play with them. I always want to bring a smile to a child’s face and that comes to me very naturally. Finally, now that I have been given the opportunity to do that with my own child, I will leave no stone unturned.”
