Playing dad A lion when it comes to shielding his kids from the outside world, Suniel Shetty admits he’s just putty in their hands! Happy family: Mana and Suniel Shetty with Daughter Athiya and Son Ahaan THE BEST THING ABOUT PLAYING DAD? The amazing feeling that your kids give you that you’re loved and trusted and looked up to no matter what. FINDING THE TIME TO BE THERE FOR THEM... Is a constant need for me, to rejuvenate my spirits with time spent with the kids. I SING LULLABIES TO MY KIDS... With Athiya, it’s quiet talk, and wild, mad games and hugging and jumping with Ahaan. KIDS SAY THE DARNEST THINGS... And everyday I live and learn some more. Ahaan is outrageous, Athiya is so wise. I FEEL LIKE A KID WHEN... I’m with my kids. FAMILY TIME IS... My journey of discovery, and my haven from stress. IT’S NOT A VACATION UNTIL... It’s the whole jingbang — Mana, the kids, the dogs — and all of us trooping off to our Khandala home. I CRUMBLE WHEN.... My kids fall sick. ONE HABIT OF MINE T...

Seen in the picture is Pankaj Udhas with Wife Farida along with daughters Nayaab and Reva. Pankaj Udhas has two daughters Nayaab and Rewa. He always makes it a point to eat dinner with his wife Farida and Children. Pankaj says "My daughters love to see me cook and then I barbeque some things for them. Once in a while I make our kind of biryani (with chicken, mutton or prawns) which I have learnt from my cook."

Hema Malini’s daughter Ahana Deol has turned dress designer and is ready to hit the racks with her label Happy Hippie Just when everyone was waiting for Ahana Deol to make her directorial debut, the 23-year-old surprised everyone by coming up with her own clothes line. She says over the phone from Goa, “I am planning to open a store that will have clothes, bags and shoes designed by me. It will also have a small coffee shop, stock cakes, chocolates, and furniture designed by my friends. I am looking at a sort of a mixture.” Coming from a family of Bollywood stars one would assume that designing is an alien concept for Ahana. However, she seems to be very confident. She says, “Designing happened to me by chance. Everyone knew I was working on my directorial debut. However, at times creative energies just flow towards different formats. That’s exactly how I got into designing. Also I would go out shopping and wonder if there was an interesting twist to the clothes. I think I am a designe...
