My parents won't let me move out

Varun Dhawan on how Punjabi parents never want their kids to move out

Over the past week or so, several young actors moved out of their parents' home to their independent space. Priyanka Chopra recently revealed she was moving to a new place in Juhu, Alia Bhatt moved out of her parents' house, Shraddha Kapoor is in the process of finding a new place and Parineeti Chopra has just found her dream home.

Varun Dhawan admits he does feel the need for his own space sometimes, "I do feel the need for my own space because I am doing so much work now. There are so many meetings going on and there are too many people flitting in and out of home. I take up too much space in the house so I feel bad for other people. So now, my mom has made a little section for me in the house. She won't let me go so easily. And anyway, I wouldn't move out too far. Maybe, just the next lane or the road across," he says.

While he is attached to his parents, Varun has always been on the move since his debut. "To be honest, I am hardly home. I am either shooting a movie or promoting one. This has been my life since Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania released. Also, when I am home, my parents treat me like I am 10. I pretty much behave like I am 16. Punjabi parents hate it when their kids move out. I don't want to either. I am very happy living with them. But I will eventually have to find a new place of my own. I am quite independent that way."

Well if they live in a mansion there is heaps of space.

Its very nice to see how attached be is to his family 😊

He doesn't want to move out, but he needs more room, but his parents treat him like a ten year old and he acts like a 16 year old, and his parents don't want to let him go and he doesn't want to go, but he's very independent so one day he has to, but he'll only move across the street, after his punjabi parents let him.

He seems to be walking in Salman's footsteps.

Good that he isnt jumping into the moving out bandwagon. Anyways the moving out usually means another property in the same street for actors.

What's wrong in living with your parents? Exactly how does it compromise on your life's decisions and privacy? I've lived with my parents for as long as I can remember, and heck they don't even care if I'm dead or alive!
