"I am 41 now. At around 35, 37 I started getting paternal instincts for my pets. I also began to wonder then how would it feel like to hold your child?" he said. Tusshar says he was expecting a lot of different reactions when he took the decision of having a child through IVF and surrogacy. "I wanted to be a father and I wanted to start a family, so I did it. People then messaged me that I am inspiring them," he said.
Tusshar Kapoor says he is a "hands-on parent". "I spend most of the day with my child and I don't want to miss out on any experience with my child. For Golmaal shooting, I took Laksshya along with me since I didn't want to stay away from him for long. He had fun on the sets," he said. He says he has learnt parenting skills along the way. "I feel it is not hard work, but rather just a lot of work that goes into raising a child. At the same time, I also read about healthy habits and the happy child book, which was really helpful."
