According to the norm, time off after the birth of the baby was a new mom thing but over the years, fortunately, men want to spend quality time with the newborn and hence, apply for paternity leaves. In this cultural shift, men have started seeing paternity leaves as essential and not optional. This time off gives newbie fathers an opportunity to be a primary caregiver of the newborn and it promotes gender equity in personal as well as work sphere. Celebs too, opt for paternity leaves to be hands-on with their newborns. Just like the last three times, this time too, Saif Ali Khan will be taking paternity leave after the birth of his child.

The source revealed that Saif and Kareena already have the crib ready and are set to welcome their baby number 2 next week. Earlier, Saif had confirmed in an interview with the Filmfare that his fourth child is due in early February.
Ahead of the birth of his fourth child, Saif Ali Khan spoke about the importance of paternity leaves and how it’s a growing phenomenon. For the doting father, Saif, it’s something he had done years ago when his first child, Sara Ali Khan was born. In an interview with Elle, Saif said, “Who wants to work when you have a newborn at home! If you don’t see your children growing up, you’re making a mistake. And I can take time off from work—it’s a privileged position. Rather than follow a 9-to-5 routine, I live like an actor. Your dharma and approach to everything are based on your career.” Sharing the magazine cover featuring Saif in his uber cool and handsome look, Kareena had written, “The coolest husband ever,” followed by heart emoticons.
When Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan had announced their second pregnancy, his sister, Soha Ali Khan had congratulated her bhai and bhabhi in a quirky post.
