Bollywood actor Purab Kohli lately became a father now. He
and his fiance Lucy were blessed with a baby girl in December 2015. In a
country where having a baby without wedding is considered a taboo, this one was
really a heroic step.
Enquire Purab if there was any pressure on him to get wedded
before the baby was born and he confesses, "My mother had a concern. She
was the most concerned. But of course, when Inaya was conceived, we weren't
married. It didn't really matter to both of us. Lucy called me and said 'We are
having a baby' and my first reaction was 'Wow'. I said let’s do it. There was
pressure and my family wanted us to get married before the baby was born. But I
was very adamant to do it before the baby was born because I didn't want her to
feel that we got into a relationship because she was coming. Her coming into
this World has transformed both our lives to the better. She is really our love
child. And she has bloomed more love between the two of us and has made me love
my life more by coming into it. I don't want her to ever feel that it was not
meant to be. It was meant to be in every possible way. She was a force of
nature that nothing could stop from coming."
Ask him if fatherhood has changed him and Purab reveals,
"Fatherhood has changed everything yaar. It is a gift I wish upon
everybody especially of a baby girl. Like I am thinking how soon can I run out
of this interview and go home, before she goes to sleep. You start thinking in
that direction. When you have a child, you stop living for yourself. Mothers
think fathers are useless but we as fathers are not that useless. Lucy in fact
points out this to me that none of her friend's husbands have had this strong
relationship with their baby. Inaya and I have good connection and we have lot
of fun together. She looks out for me and has a smirk in her eyes when she sees
me."
Now that the baby will be turning a year old this December,
we enquire Purab when does he plan to get wedded and the Rock On 2 actor
discloses, "We have signed papers already but we will have a big
celebration next year. We just want Inaya to be standing on her two feet and
hold flowers. It would probably next year, around this time - September or
October. It will be in London."
