Other ‘hands-on’ celebrity dads
In a society where the mother is expected to be the primary caregiver for the children, the trend of celebrities moving towards equal parenting is refreshing. Priyanka and Nick aren’t the only celebs who have decided to be equal partners in the nursery.
Here are some other Bollywood dads who have talked about equal parenting and taking care of their babies.
1. Saif Ali Khan

In an interview with The Indian Express, Kareena Kapoor Khan revealed that Saif Ali Khan was great at helping with the baby when Taimur was born.
“He is so hands-on because he has done it before but I feel there is an intensity with which his son looks at him, more than when he looks at me. So, there is already a bond between them. Also, Saif is a pro, he does everything, including changing the diapers.”
2. Kunal Kemmu

Kunal Kemmu and Soha Ali Khan have been pretty open about how they share the workload when it comes to taking care of their daughter. In an interaction, Soha Ali Khan revealed, “We share the parenting load equally and there are no tasks that are segregated by gender.”

Shahid Kapoor is a doting father and he revealed in an interview that he’s not only changed Misha’s diapers, but also Ishan’s! In an interaction with PTI, the actor said, “I want to be part of my child’s growth. I want to be with her in each and every moment. The whole experience of being a parent has been beautiful and life-changing.”
There are a lot of other Bollywood fathers who are breaking through the gender stereotypes and being more than just semi-present fathers. Hands-on parenting and equal parenting is here to stay, and it’s something that is super important in our society.
With fathers pitching in equally, the whole family can move towards a more productive and happier relationship–where the pressure is not concentrated on just one person. Nick Jonas being a hands-on dad for Malti Marie makes us positive that the future of parenthood is pretty bright.
