When a man comes home after a long day, all he wants is a hug from his little girl that can melt away everything. A father-daughter relationship is one of the most precious ones that is made by God. No matter whether he is a wrestler, a cricketer, a doctor or a simple office-goer when his little girl asks him to play dress-up, he has to play. He is the one, who nurtures, guides her and even becomes her personal chauffeur whenever the need arises. And an exactly similar bond is shared between television actor, Jay Bhanushali and his daughter, Tara Jay Bhanushali.

Jay Bhanushali and his wife, Mahhi Vij's life changed the moment they saw the latter's pregnancy test. For nine-long-years, they had waited for a little wonder to grace their life and on August 21, 2019, their prayers were answered when Tara had entered their world. Since then, their Instagram feed is filled with cute glimpses of their littlest star. And it was on Jay's birthday (December 25, 2019) when we had first seen the full picture of Tara. In the picture, we could see Tara dressed up as Snow White. Along with it, Jay had written, "As promised on my first Birthday with @tarajaybhanushali pls welcome my teddy bear my life my soul my happiness..your first breath took ours away her little hands stole my heart. her little feet ran away with it."
On January 17, 2020, Jay took to his Instagram handle and shared yet another pretty gem from his collection of Tara's gorgeous picture. In the picture, we can see Tara in her slumber. Along with it, he wrote a long note for his baby girl which can be read as "Ready to conquer the world!!! Hope I can give you all the happiness in life..life is different after @tarajaybhanushali coming in my life it feels like a restart of my childhood days thank you @mahhivij for all the pain you took and finally I can say that all the pain you took was worth it." Take a look at Tara's cute picture below:
On January 3, 2020, Mahhi had taken to her Instagram handle and had posted a cute video of her daughter, Tara. Along with it, she had written a cute note that could be read as "Happy 5 months my baby @tarajaybhanushali u have given me everything that I once asked god.you have put the colour inside my heart. I believe that God sent you in my life to give me something to fight for, to show me there is love in this world, to give me hope n bring me joy, all the proof in God I need is in you I love you TARA."

For those who don't know, Jay and Mahhi are not new to parenting as they had adopted their caretakers' children, Khushi and Rajveer. They didn't just sign up for their education but also made sure to spend enough time with them. One look at their Instagram feeds and we cannot distinguish whether they are their biological kids or adopted. On January 15, 2020, Mahhi had shared a cute note for her three kids, Khushi, Rajveer and Tara. It could be read as "You three complete me! Khushi, my first child, you'll always be very special to me. You are the best daughter and I m happy that Tara will follow your footsteps. Rajveer my second child the most caring brother from asking visitors to sanitize their hands to making sure tara is ok I love you Rajveer you make me a proud mumma. Tara, we have prayed for you, yes we have prayed for you. You are surprising mumma by each passing day with so much patience. I love you my little one. Thank you, god, for my three angels."

In an interview with the Bombay Times, Jay had talked about embracing fatherhood and nurturing his little girl. He had shared, "I can’t describe the feeling. I have just become the father of a very beautiful child and I thank God for being kind to us. She is a little angel and I can’t wait to bring her home. I wish to give her all the happiness in life, and that will be my aim now. My other two children will also be delighted to have a new member at home."
Just a week before the birth of his baby girl, the actor had expressed his wish of having a girl in an interview with the IANS. Jay had stated, "No relationship in the world can match the sanctity of a father-daughter relationship. I wish that my wife gives birth to a baby girl. I have no gender preference and it is not that I won’t like it if it’s a boy. It’s just that I have experienced the father-son connect with my dad, and now, I want to see how a daughter bonds with her dad."
