So the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic came as a blessing in disguise for the working parents, who are now spending quality time at home and nurturing their kids together.

In an interview with The Times of India, Kapil Sharma revealed his quarantine routine, how he has been in the lockdown since his daughter, Anayra Sharma’s birth and the attachment he now feels with her. Speaking of how she has started recognising him, Kapil remarked, “I don’t even realise when the day goes by. Abhi uska mere saath thoda zyada attachment ho gaya hai. Pehle Ginni ko hi dekh kar hasti thi. Since the past few days, she has started recognising me and even smiles. That feeling is out of the world.” In a picture that’s emerged on social media, the doting daddy can be seen holding a book of baby animals and posing with Anayra, who’s lying on the bed.
Elaborating on his quarantine routine with his baby girl, Kapil Sharma stated, “Aaj kal saara din baby ke saath khelta rehta hoon, and khaata aur sota hoon, bas. Badi mushkil se routine sahi hui thi. Usko settle aur hamein time par sote hue 10 din hi hue the ki phir se routine change ho gaya. Abhi baby bhi bore ho gayi hai dekh dekh ke mujhe saara din. Usko lagta hai, ‘Mera baap kuchh karta hi nahi hai’.” (Also Read: Soha Ali Khan Shares A Cute Picture Of Inaaya As She Enjoys Her Pancakes With Her Pooch)
