On June 16 the entire world, including Bollywood, is celebrating Father’s Day. While there are many young dads in the industry, recent additions to the list include actors Varun Dhawan, Ram Charan, and filmmaker Aditya Dhar, who have all become fathers for the first time. Some of these actors are single dads, raising their children with love and care.
Here’s a look at a few inspiring single fathers in Bollywood.
Karan Johar
Bollywood’s ace filmmaker Karan Johar became father to twins, Yash and Roohi, through surrogacy in 2017. Both his son and daughter have taken their names from Karan’s parents. Karan has been open about his experiences as a single father and often shares glimpses of his parenting adventures on social media.
Tusshar Kapoor
Tusshar Kapoor, who has been a part of Bollywood comedies “Kyaa Kool Hain Hum” and “Golmaal” franchise, chose surrogacy to become a single father. His son, Laksshya, was born in 2016. He is single-handedly raising his son, Laksshya, with every emotion of a parent and moulding him into one of the best humans.
Kamal Haasan
Veteran star Kamal Haasan is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors in the history of Indian cinema. Hassan is also a doting father and a complete family man. His role as a single father, raising Shruti and Akshara, demonstrates his dedication to their well-being and his ability to provide a nurturing environment.
Chandrachur Singh
Chandrachur Singh recently made his big-screen return with the web series Aarya alongside Sushmita Sen after a prolonged absence from the film industry. During this hiatus, he focused on raising his child, who has now grown old enough to understand life’s complexities. His sabbatical from the industry to raise his son Shaarnjai, born in 2007, is an inspiration to all dads in the industry who not only excel in their acting craft but also prioritize their role as parents.
