On Father’s Day, Dheeraj Dhoopar reveals he’s planning his son Zayn’s first worldwide journey quickly

“I’ll be home spending the special day with Zayn. I’m actually not really the kinds who plan a lot, but my wife is the one who gives me a lot of surprises. So, I’m sure she has planned something good for Father’s Day as well, more so because this is my first,” says Dheeraj.

Whereas the 38-year-old admits that it will get a bit tough at instances to juggle work commitments and daddy duties, he shares how a present ending got here as a blessing in disguise. “I try to spend maximum time with Zayn. And luckily, I got some more of it when my show Sherdil Shergill went off in February this year. I was happy I got a few months to spend with him. They say this (embracing fatherhood) is the best stage of your life, and it actually is,” gushes the actor, thanking his spouse Vinny for being “a great and a supportive partner” particularly in the case of sharing parenting obligations.

Calling himself a journey bug, Dheeraj shares that he is quickly planning Zayn’s first worldwide journey. “I make sure if I am shooting for a log schedule, I take a break and go for a family vacation. Vinny and I used to travel a lot before Zayn came into our life. He’ll be 10 months old now and we already went on a domestic trip last month. And soon, we’ll take him out of India for a vacation,” he says.

Having stated that, Dheeraj remembers probably the most tough second of his life when he was away from his infant for nearly a month attributable to work. “I missed him terribly. I have the habit of going home, looking at him, playing with him and then I feel quite okay after that. My tiredness also goes off. I want to see him daily. Whenever I am out, I miss him in my arms, and his physical presence. So, when I was away, I used to video call him daily, and I would feel happy seeing him recognising me on the phone,” ends the actor.
