Abhishek Bachchan Will Be A Strict Or Pampering Dad?
Apart from his next release in January, there’s a lot more happening in Abhishek Bachchan’s life right now. The actor’s looking forward to fatherhood but admits he does not have the liberty to take time off. Excerpts from a Q and A with the papa-to-be…
As the due date nears, you must be getting increasingly asked about the baby and fatherhood?
Actually, I’ve been so busy shooting Bol Bachchan that I haven’t really thought about it. Parenthood is something that’s going to happen naturally, so there’s no point stressing over it.
But you must have begun thinking of baby names and started shopping?
Thinking about names is an ongoing process. We don’t know whether it’s going to be a boy or a girl, but suggestions are more than welcome. We haven’t started shopping yet.
Reportedly, you’re taking paternity leave and have got your work schedule adjusted to be able to remain in town till some time after the birth.
That the media has already decided for me. I don’t have the liberty to take time off. Of course I’ll be around as and when the baby is born, but otherwise, I’m going to be working.
So will Abhishek make a strict daddy or a pampering papa?
I think I’ll be okay; not very strict nor will I allow the kid to get out of hand. I’ll ensure that my children are down to earth. Aishwarya also believes in the same. We’ll bring our kids up to be good human beings and that’s what my parents also taught me. Source
