Being a single parent is quite challenging. It can sometimes be more challenging to be a single father. When a father is in charge of raising his child solely, he is more receptive, sympathetic, and readily available to meet those demands. Many men in the B-town are defying preconceptions and breaking through barriers in terms of single parenting. So on the occasion of Father's Day, we decided to honour single fathers from the Bollywood industry who are unstoppable in their parenting style, take a look:

In 2017, filmmaker Karan Johar announced to the world that he had become a parent to twins named Roohi and Yash. In a media interview, Johar admitted that not having a partner was his biggest life regret. However, the filmmaker used surrogacy to deliver his twins. He was questioned whether choosing to be a single parent after accepting fatherhood if not having a partner encouraged him to do so.

That there was no connection between the two, he said. The director even suggested waiting until one is ready to take on the burden and is emotionally prepared before deciding to welcome a child or children into their lives.

2. Tusshar Kapoor

Popular Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor is a happy single parent who likes spending all of his time with his son Laksshya Kapoor, whom he adopted through surrogacy in 2016.
