Gone are the days when only mothers used to take maternity leaves to take care of the newborn baby while the dads went to work. Since the things are evolving and changing for good, dads want to be an active part of their newborn child and hence, opt for paternity leaves to spend quality time with his wife and baby. While a newborn baby requires attention and care from his/her parents, most organisations allow their female employees to take maternity leaves but the paternity leaves don’t get much preference. With the changing times and culture, the dads also get to enjoy the initial days of their newborn to the fullest. Not just MNCs, but B-town daddies too are setting a trend of being hands-on with their tiny tots and grabbing the precious moments with his newborn baby by opting for paternity leaves. Newbie daddy and famous comedian, Kapil Sharma also made sure to connect with his newborn daughter right from the beginning and took a paternity break. (Also Read: K.G.F.
