Thanks to social media, we often get to have an insight into the lives of our favorite <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> stars. While most of them keep it purely professional by posting images from shootings and public appearances, some of them prefer to give us a peek-a-boo in their personal lives. 
 
The Bollywood stars that we know have macho images, and can beat a group of goons at one time. However, the pictures that they post on their Facebook and Twitter profiles are enough to show their softer side. 
 Today, let’s meet the <keyword id="2928880" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="doting-dads-of-bollywood">doting dads of Bollywood</keyword>, celebs who are not afraid of showing their softer, paternal side on social media. 
 
1. Hrithik Roshan 
The actor, who recently went through an amicable divorce, has certainly not let that affect his adorable young kids Hrehaan and Hridhaan. To make up for the time that he can’t be with them, the Bang Bang actor has taken off to South Africa for a long vacation. He’s been posting pics from the vacation, and the latest one just got us in splits. Check for yourself.

2. Shah Rukh Khan 
While he somehow controlled himself from posting images of his kids Aryan and Suhana, he has not been able to do so since the arrival of his third child AbRam. Nowadays, the Twitter timeline of the Happy New Year actor is filled with pictures of his cute bundle of joy. In fact, this was how AbRam was first introduced to the world. SRK had released his first-ever picture on Twitter on the occasion of Eid last October, and ever since then, there’s no stopping. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">

3. Arjun Rampal 
A man of few words, Arjun Rampal has two daughters, Myra and Mihika, and he has already professed his love for them by inking their names on his arms. On Father’s Day that passed by, he posted a selfie with his daughters, and a few days later, he also posted a beautiful collage on the occasion of Myra’s 10th birthday. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
	
		What a super day, it's Father's Day, Yoga day and his holiness <a href="https://twitter.com/DalaiLama">@DalaiLama</a> 80th birthday. Have a beautiful day Dad's. <a href="http://t.co/ys278ZgRHs">pic.twitter.com/ys278ZgRHs</a>

 4. Riteish Deshmukh 
The new dad announced the good news of his fatherhood via Twitter last year and also chose the platform to reveal his son’s name, Riaan. He also introduced his little one to Twitter with an adorable picture and ever since then, he has been sharing his pictures, which make us go aww every single time. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">

5. Anil Kapoor 
Well, he is not new to Fatherhood, but as they say, the first born is always special to a man. Anil shared an image with his daughter, actress Sonam Kapoor, and both of them looked elegant, to say the least. While Sonam is one of the best dressed actresses in Bollywood, Anil certainly hasn’t lost his charm.

5 Celebs caught showing off their paternal side

Here’s the New Year’s first <keyword id="1636016" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="rom-com">rom-com</keyword> that should have hit the theatre on the Valentine’s Day. But the Farhan Akhtar-Vidya Balan starrer has arrived exactly two weeks late and you can’t even call it a hit, in spite of a decent opening. The lead duo rocks, of course, and <keyword id="303" type="POSITION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Director">director</keyword> <keyword id="27707" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Saket-Chaudhary">Saket Chaudhary</keyword> does his best to bring back the impish charm of his directorial debut, <keyword id="27579" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Pyaar-Ke-Side-Effects">Pyaar Ke Side Effects</keyword>. Nonetheless, the (pseudo) sequel, <keyword id="853887" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shaadi-Ke-Side-Effects">Shaadi Ke Side Effects</keyword> (<keyword id="1575401" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="SKSE">SKSE</keyword>), lacks the earlier spice and spunk, at least during the second half. The new movie has a new star cast as well – Farhan &amp; Vidya as <keyword id="66282" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sid">Sid</keyword> &amp; <keyword id="13161" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Trisha">Trisha</keyword> instead of <keyword id="2097200" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="PKSE">PKSE</keyword>’s <keyword id="3194" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Rahul-Bose">Rahul Bose</keyword> and <keyword id="6363209" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Mallika-Sherawat">Mallika Sherawat</keyword>. And it could be one big reason that makes the difference here. <keyword id="5015" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Farhan-Akhtar">Farhan Akhtar</keyword> is quite brilliant as Sid and Vidya remains irresistible, but not in the same way the ‘other’ Trisha pulled it off. 
 
Predictably, Shaadi Ke Side Effects saw a somewhat slow start at the <keyword id="827271" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Domestic-Box-Office">domestic box office</keyword>, netting a little over Rs 5 crore on the opening day (February 28). But collections went up dramatically during the first weekend and the movie netted around Rs 21.5 crore at home after Day 3 as most of the circuits saw 40% or more growth. Overall occupancy was 60-65% but some of the major multiplex chains saw even 70-80% occupancy in the evening shows over the weekend However, earnings slumped on the crucial Day 4 (Monday, March 3) to Rs 4 crore, according to industry estimates. 
 That’s definitely a roller-coaster ride at the <keyword id="25892" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="box-office">box office</keyword>, but not without reasons. For once, the inconsistency in <keyword id="182563" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="BO">BO</keyword> collections seems to replicate the movie’s roller-coaster performance – a mature <keyword id="6359193" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Comedy">comedy</keyword> in the beginning that gradually loses its ‘cool’ and gets totally clichéd and utterly predictable at the end. 
 
To begin with, you have Farhan Akhtar (Sid), a married man caught in the baby trap after a lot of scotch and a passionate night. As usual, it is wife Trisha (Vidya) who dotes on the baby and leaves her job to raise it, but hubby is not ready yet to accept the catastrophe. Interestingly, if Sid was commitment-phobic in PKSE, here we find a man who is literally struggling to keep his happiness, self-confidence and sanity intact – a much tougher task than before. So he starts leading a dual life – reliving (not very convincingly) his carefree days and weaving a string of white lies (as sagaciously advised by brother-in-law and the ‘perfect dad’ <keyword id="17416" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ram-Kapoor">Ram Kapoor</keyword>) to appease a nagging wife. 
 
The situation gets pretty taut emotionally and also tougher, thanks to the demands of baby care (remember those scenes from Heyy Babyy?). But every incident turns out to be incredibly funny and Farhan keeps the comedy sparkling till the end. His perfect comic timings, hilarious jokes, sardonic voiceovers and the interplay between family and freewheeling cause some laughter riot and give us a rocking time. More so, because they are so everyday kind of humour and happenings, so relatable yet so quirky. Even in terms of comic scores, Vidya complements Farhan while their poignant on-screen chemistry holds together a near-absent storyline and a weak script. 
 But beneath these layers of breezy fun, there are glimpses of a disturbing reality that Chaudhary decides to keep out of the frame. The growing lack of communication between Sid &amp; Trisha, the <keyword id="23666" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="stress">stress</keyword> of motherhood or the painful efforts the two make/don’t make to come to terms with reality could have thrown open a plethora of possibilities and held the centre stage at the end. 
 Instead, we get some <keyword id="2097209" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood-histrionics">Bollywood histrionics</keyword> – stereotype characters that look like caricatures, some gross gender politics (why should Farhan have all the attention, one wonders), superficial confrontations and rapid reconciliations. It almost looks like Chaudhary has a rulebook for ‘turning happy marriages into happy parenting’ up his sleeves and scripted the later part of the movie accordingly. And that makes Shaadi Ke Side Effects an average, humdrum rom-com that could have been a brilliant black comedy with uneasy questions disrupting the free flow of laughter. 
 
<keyword id="6362021" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Anuradha">Anuradha</keyword>: A tear-jerker without impact Here is one <keyword id="2097210" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood-drama">Bollywood drama</keyword> that should be left severely alone unless you want to watch a paragon of virtue suffering for nothing and enduring it all. Directed by <keyword id="1092477" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Raju-Mavani">Raju Mavani</keyword>, the movie features two debut actors in the lead roles – <keyword id="2973" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rahul-Jain">Rahul Jain</keyword> and <keyword id="2036044" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Disha-Choudhary">Disha Choudhary</keyword>. But that’s where the novelty ends. Disha, an ideal daughter, wife and sister, is the good old weeping bahu oppressed by mom-in-law as she demands dowry and snubbed by sis-in-law (<keyword id="4469" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Hrishita-Bhatt">Hrishita Bhatt</keyword>) who displays loads of filmy depravity. But unlike other ‘woman-centric’ movies of the 80s and 90s, there’s no unique storyline here or strong characters who can be a role model of sorts. So the output is, once again, too clichéd to be palatable. We have not got the box office numbers yet but some industry insiders peg it at Rs 25 lakh on the opening day (February 28) and further updates are awaited. Meanwhile, get ready for the upcoming Friday that will usher in loads of thrill, excitement and fun in the form of <keyword id="1523830" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gulaab-Gang">Gulaab Gang</keyword>, <keyword id="1952335" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Total-Siyapaa">Total Siyapaa</keyword> and <keyword id="6377522" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="queen">Queen</keyword>.

Box Office: Shaadi Ke Side Effects Fails To
Hit A High Note; Anuradha Just A Shoddy Tear-jerker

<keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> isn’t new to trolls, but when a person decided to pull one on <keyword id="499" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="abhishek-bachchan">Abhishek Bachchan</keyword>, the actor gave him such a hard-hitting reply that the user ended up apologizing for his behavior. 
 For those unaware, this is what happened: A user posted a photo of the Abhishek Bachchan with Aaradhya, his daughter, on Twitter account and joked how actor’s flop movies would force Aaradhya question her mother, actress <keyword id="6356036" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="aishwarya-rai-bachchan">Aishwarya Rai Bachchan</keyword>, about her choice of husband. 
 
The tweet in question attracted a lot of criticism from tweeples, but it was Jr. Bachchan who gave a fitting reply to the user. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" lang="en">
	
		<a href="https://twitter.com/Mayankaryan084">@Mayankaryan084</a> you feeling better about yourself now??? Good! Glad to have been of service. Now go back to the hole you crawled out of.
	— Abhishek Bachchan (@juniorbachchan) <a href="https://twitter.com/juniorbachchan/status/610746429569499136">June 16, 2015</a></blockquote>
The user, who was certainly enjoying the sudden attention he got didn’t stop at this and went on to say how deciding not to watch Jr. Bachchan’s movies was the best decision that he took in life. However, a few arguments later, Abhishek, being the protective father that he is, took a stand and posted: 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" lang="en">
	
		<a href="https://twitter.com/Mayankaryan084">@Mayankaryan084</a> don’t like my movies? That’s cool. Will work harder to make movies you like. Bringing my daughter into it is NOT cool.
	— Abhishek Bachchan (@juniorbachchan) <a href="https://twitter.com/juniorbachchan/status/610767951835172864">June 16, 2015</a></blockquote>
 Following this strong statement coming from the father Abhishek and not the actor Abhishek, the user apologized and deleted the tweet in question. Consequently, the stand that Abhishek took went viral and got huge support from his followers. 
 
However, this is not the first time when Abhishek Bachchan has proved that he is a family man. Here are some of the instances that prove that despite being trolled hard for not being as successful as his parents or his wife, the actor always stand up for his folks. 
 
The doting father According to some reports, Abhishek got his ears pierced before his daughter <keyword id="970489" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aaradhya-Bachchan">Aaradhya Bachchan</keyword>. He wanted to ensure if piercing would hurt her little princess too much. 
 
The humble son On being asked if he ever wished for the kind of stardom that his father <keyword id="6357912" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="amitabh-bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</keyword> enjoys, the actor went on to say, “No. That’s not possible. Have you seen the North Star? It appears once in a lifetime. There has been no star as huge as Dad nor will there ever be.” 
 
Also, at the start of his career, he had said this: 
 
“My dad and mom are too great for anyone to even try to be like them. So why should I even try?”

The supportive husband 
On accompanying his wife Aishwarya, who is the global face of Bollywood, to the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, he said, “I’ve often been asked how it feels to walk the red carpet with your wife at Cannes. I find this attitude chauvinistic. It means that you are the husband so how can you walk with her? Do you ever ask Aishwarya why she walks the red carpet with me at the premieres of my films? She attends all my events, but I cannot accompany her. That’s wrong. If my wife supports me, then it’s my duty to support her.”

Abhishek Bachchan is a bigger family man than actor. Know why

Barely a year after he made his movie debut in the credit roll of his father’s movie Happy New Year (HNY), <keyword id="1671" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh-Khan">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword>’s younger son AbRam made his IPL debut too. 
 
Seems like the kid is a lucky charm for his doting dad; not only was HNY a huge hit at the Box Office, SRK’s IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders went ahead to win the game against Mumbai Indians. 
 
Dressed in a white T-shirt with KKR’s logo printed over it, the kid looked an absolute copy of his superstar Dad, who wore a similar T-shirt and sported a similar, messy hairdo. 
 
AbRam, who was born in 2013, is the third child and second son of Shah Rukh Khan and wife Gauri Khan, the first two being Aryan (born 1997) and Suhana (born 2000).
