Celebrity Fathers Who Turned Playfellows For Their Kids During The Lockdown

It is said that there is a child in everyone. These are terrifying times. As adults, being positive and emotionally available for the kids is a part of keeping our children safe. Luckily, the lockdown is bringing out the child in some of our favorite celebrities. In a society like ours, men are often restricted from showing their fun side, so as to be “feared”. However, these men unchained their inner child and joined their kids in various fun activities around the house. Read on to know how.

1. Neil Nitin Mukesh

Neil Nitin Mukesh wears many hats in Bollywood. Another one that he proudly wears is that of a doting father. His daughter, Nurvi, is a little ball of cuteness, and the denizens of social media can’t have enough of her. Granting their wish, Neil Nitin Mukesh frequently posts videos and pictures of Nurvi. In a video that he recently posted, we can hear him asking Nurvi if he can have a bite of her. The little girl refuses by shaking her head vigorously. He aptly captioned the post as, “My morning dessert. Want to bite her cheeks all the time. Initially she used to allow me. But has learnt to say NAHI PAPA.”

2. Karanvir Bohra

It looks like the television star Karanvir Bohra is having the time of his life despite being in lockdown. He is spending a lot of his time with his twins, Bella and Vienna. We saw him transform into a “superhero” to fight germs, a gardener, and a storyteller for his kids. He also wrote, in the post that he shared on World Book Day that the lockdown has made him a patient father, “Post lockdown, if people ask me what’s the one thing I’ve learnt from it, I’d say, I’ve learnt to be a patient father.”

It is amazing to see him reliving his childhood through his young daughters. As he said, childhood is not lost. Follow the kids, and you can get it back anytime. He also uses a hashtag that captures the feeling very well: #NonStopBachFun.

Kunal Khemu and Soha Ali Khan Pataudi welcomed their first child a few years ago. Kunal is using the lockdown to spend time with their beautiful daughter, Inaaya. Recently, a photo of Kunal surfaced online, where he is seen doing household chores with Inaaya. He has also posted many videos and photos with her. One of them was captioned, “The stories you tell me are so much more fun than the ones I read to you.”

The other posts show the father and daughter working out together, with Kunal exclaiming that he got the best trainer in the world.

Many would say that Dulquer Salmaan is the crown prince of Malayalam cinema. He shot into stardom with the success of his films such as Ustad Hotel and Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi. He and his wife Amal were blessed with a baby girl recently. A few days ago, Dulquer penned a beautiful poem describing the affection he has for his daughter, Mariam. He also shared an adorable picture showing off his painted nails, all done by his daughter. Not ashamed to own his tender side, he added hashtags such as #playingprincesstomyprincess.

Gone are the days when fathers were the bad cops in the house. This list is proof that masculinity is being redefined, and men are actively taking part in the process. Fathers like them are making the world a better place for their little ones by doing so.

We also saw Shah Rukh Khan having fun jamming with little AbRam Khan, and Saif Ali Khan painting along with little Tim, all because of the lockdown. Who is your favorite celebrity dad? Let us know in the comments.
