It’s such a loving picture to see our macho and romantic hero’s playing a role of doting fathers of Bollywood in real life. When we see them on screen chasing heroines, singing songs and doing dishum-dishum, we always stay curious to know what they are like at home with their kids and family.

I think things have  changed and bollywood dads are getting bolder and are not afraid of getting out of those closed doors of their homes and spend some quality time with their kids in public, doing stuff what an ordinary father would do. Recently, ...
