And guess what? Right in that moment, Shahid called up his father-in-law to apologise for anything he might have done unintentionally to upset him.

This is what the actor had to say about the entire account:

"I was both ecstatic and scared. I began thinking of Mira's father and how he must have felt when he gave away his baby, his daughter to this strange guy, an actor from Mumbai with a ponytail and coloured hair, who perhaps thought he was a 'cool dude'. I called him up instantly and apologised if I had troubled him at any point. I may have overlooked his point of view somewhere, regarding something which may have been important to him, this realisation came when I held a baby girl in my hands when I felt vulnerable. I don't want anything to go wrong with her ever. I guess, being a man I always thought of as a man. But holding a baby girl gave me a new perspective. It changes everything."

Talking about his little angel and the reason why he took paternity leave for six months, Shahid said:

"I've spent a lot of time with Misha. I took a six-month paternity leave. I did it more for myself than her. I didn't want to miss out on the experience. People cautioned me that it was not a good decision. That I'd be out of the limelight. But being an actor I'm a freelancer."

If this is not all, you would be delighted to know that Shahid is a complete hands-on daddy and even changes Misha’s diapers.

“I change her diapers, I give her bottle feeds. I fed her first solids. I enjoy hanging with her when she moves in the walker.”

“I like looking at her when she rolls around. In fact, I mimic her funny sounds rather than teach her words. So that she feel's we're sharing a conversation."
