Papa, Dad, Daddy, Baba, whatever you call him, a father is a superhero for all. It is said that a father loves his daughter more than his son and we cannot agree more, because we have seen fathers do things for their daughters that often make us go aww. From tying her shoelace to buying fancy frocks for her, from buying a dollhouse for her to holding her hand to teach her to walk, we love to see fathers pampering their princesses. One such father, who is always on his toes to pamper his daughter is Kunal Kemmu. (Also Read: Mohit Malik's Wife, Aditi Caresses Her Baby Bump, Shares How Her Pregnancy Is Making Her A Mother)
Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu had tied the knot on January 25, 2015, and had welcomed a little princess into their lives on September 29, 2017. As the couple was blessed with a daughter on the ninth day of Navaratri, the parents had mutually decided to name their daughter, Inaaya Naumi Kemmu. A girl born with a blessed name has become a blessing for her parents. We remember in an interview with Rediff.com, Kunal had opened up on embracing the journey of fatherhood and had said that his life has completely changed from what it used to be as he had to alter his timetable and priorities after the arrival of his angel. Well, yes! His life has changed for good as from braiding Inaaya’s unicorn’s hair to tying her ponytail, we have seen Kunal do it all.
Yes, Kunal has proved himself to be a great father time and again and we have another proof of it. Taking to his IG handle, a few hours back, Kunal shared a picture with his princess where he can be seen tying his daughter’s hair into a ponytail. While Inaaya wore a pink tulle frock, Kunal can be seen dressed casually in a white shirt and blue shorts. The baby girl can be seen holding her hairband as her daddy held her hair, forming a ponytail. Sharing the picture, Kunal penned a funny caption that can be read as “Baal Baal aur Bachhe. Sahi pony tail bana ke papa bal bal bachhe.”
Judging by his Instagram feed, it looks like the doting daddy, Kunal is enjoying every second of being a father to his baby girl, Inaaya. On January 11, 2021, Soha had captured Kunal and Inaaya's cute antics. She had taken to her Instagram handle and had posted a lovely video of her daughter and Kunal. In the video, we could see Kunal tying a braid of Inaaya's unicorn. Soha had captioned the video as "Daddy duty seems to be going well today! #yousaiduna."
On the occasion of Daughter's Day, Kunal had taken to his Instagram handle and had penned a lovely wish for his baby girl. He had posted a perfect picture with his daughter, Inaaya, wherein he could be seen looking at her lovingly while she was lost in her thoughts. Alongside it, Kunal had written, "When the world fits in your arms and you can embrace the life in it..the only relationship that’s cemented for life the moment it starts is that of a parent and their child. To every parent and to every daughter. #HappyDaughtersDay."

In an interview with the DNA, Kunal had shared the story behind his baby girl's name and had stated, "It’s weird. It just came to me. When you know you are having a baby, the first thing is you think about the names you can call your baby. Everyone goes through this and we also had a list. Inaaya just happened to strike me. I had never heard the name before but I must have had some connection with it and everyone quite liked the name. But it was one of the names I had chosen. Naumi was another name that I really liked. And my daughter has a middle name too. We were going with Inaaya but then, she was born on Mahanavami, so this was too much of a coincidence. Even though she will always be known as Inaaya, her official name will be Inaaya Naumi Kemmu."
We must say, Kunal is acing ‘papa’ duties perfectly!
