Dishy Dad

Not only inking their kids’ names on themselves,but also spending quality time with their young ones is what makes these dads special

Their celebrity status may not allow them easy time off ,but Bollywood dads ensure they aren’t too busy for their kids. Never mind it is for public events like premieres,but our dishy dads don’t mind posing with their brood for the shutterbugs. R Madhavan found time to take his four-year-old lad Vedant for the premiere of Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince. “I just love the way he looks at me when I do things he can’t,” says Madhavan about his son,“I try and answer all his questions in all earnest,” he adds. Sohail Khan also made it to the Potter show with his son Nivaan and Arbaaz’s naughty boy Arhaan in tow. Akshay Kumar and Arjun Rampal are demonstrative in their own way — both the dads have inked the names of their kids. Akshay flaunted his ‘Aarav’ tattoo proudly as he walked the ramp bare torso. Arjun’s got ‘Mihika’ and ‘Myra’ inked on his arms.

Even if their time is on a big premium,they make sure to dole out enough of it for their children. Aamir Khan,for instance,turned up with his children Ira and Junaid for the premiere of Ghajini and later took off on a two-month-long vacation. Likewise,Shah Rukh Khan,who gives a patient ear to his kids,Aryan and Suhana,at all times,even devises treasure hunt games for them. Saif Ali Khan never minds taking along his son Ebrahim to work,often the young lad is seen spending time with his dad on the sets.

And if there is one lady who can call the shots with Ajay Devgan,it certainly is his daughter,Nysa. She can even admonish him for lighting up a cigarette too many.

It is not as if star dads only indulge their kids,they even pull them up when needed. “Humility is the value that I want to pass on to my son,” discloses Madhavan.
