When Tusshar was blessed with a son, he had shared his family's happiness, “My parents were a little apprehensive about announcing that the baby was through IVF.

Tusshar had also stated, “I was thinking about it for some time before I finally had the baby because I was running out of time. I am not married yet. I may or may not in the future. I felt the time was running out fast and I couldn’t wait to have a family, have a child. That’s something I won’t be able to do as I grow older. I can always get married. That’s why I decided to become a single parent.”
On becoming a dadu-dadi, Jeetindra and wife Shobha ji had said this in a statement, “We could not be more excited to be grandparents to Laksshya, and are completely supportive of Tusshar’s decision. This is certainly a tremendous blessing, and an exciting time in our lives. Tusshar is a wonderful son, and he has proven, with responsibility, independence and kindness, that he will be a great father to Laksshya.” (Checkout: Amy Jackson To Get Engaged To Her BF On This Date, With Their Baby Inside Her Womb)

I’m so thankful to Tusshar and Ekta, thankful to my family. This gift is the greatest gift in my life.”
The Tohfa actor also talked about missing out on Tusshar and Ekta's childhood. He had said, "As a father, mereko yaad ni aata main apne bachon ke sath kab khela hun. Main to apne struggle mein or bhagdaud mein itna busy tha, main bhul gaya mere bache kab bade ho gaye. I'm living that with my grandson."
