Life has change 360 degrees for Aparshakti Khurana in the last two years after his daughter Arzoie was born. “I have become a little more responsible,” says the doting dad on the occasion of Father’s Day. He further says, “I have started taking up work in a way that I am in Mumbai as much as possible. That is one major change.”

Has his daughter’s birth altered his creative choices too? “Not really, I don’t take up work thinking about what my daughter will think of it when she grows up. Maybe such projects haven’t come my way where I have had to think,” he says.

Aparshakti lost his father, astrologer P Khurana, recently and it has been a difficult time for the family. He says, “It has been tough, no one is prepared for something like this. Only time will heal this; work helps me divert my mind. We shared a regular father-son relationship while growing up, but after a certain age, it evolved, and he became my friend. He lived his life to the fullest, and all we can do is celebrate his life.”
