Early this month, actor Aparshakti Khurana took to social media to announce that his wife, Aakriti Ahuja, and he are soon going to be parents. Talking about the time when he first got to know that they were expecting their little bundle of joy, he says, “I was ecstatic and that feeling cannot be put into words.”

It is said that parenthood is a life-changing experience and Khurana agrees to it. “I am yet to experience parenthood in its entirety but I do feel a sense of responsibility to become a better person for my child,” he says.

So, does the Pati, Patni Aur Woh (2019) actor plan on being the tough cop or daddy cool? “I am an affectionate and an expressive person. And I am going to make sure that I am the same with my child. I think both Aakriti and I are going to be cool parents,” he replies.

Parenting may prove to be a challenge and Khurana confides that he has already begun taking advice from his father and brother-actor Ayushmann Khurrana. “I’ve been taking tips for quite some time from my father, brother and some fabulous dads around me. Soon, I’ll have to bring the learning to execution,” he says.

With shoots resuming now, he believes that it will now require greater diligence on his part to keep all health hazards at a bay. “Since the last few months, I’ve been taking more precautions than ever and I will continue to do so to keep my wife and baby safe,” concludes the actor who will next be seen in Helmet.
