Come on, baby

Actor Manoj Bajpayee is on cloud 9. Well, that's not because he's struck gold at the box-office, but because he's recently become a proud daddy. The man, who hardly emotes off screen, is for once sounding excited and beaming from ear to ear. He talks to CS about fatherhood:

My daddy strongest
Becoming a father is a great feeling. I'm on top of the world. I know my life's going to change, but I don't really view fatherhood as a responsibility. I enjoy being answerable to the people who are important to me, and Ava is going to be one of those people. I'm not sure what kind of a dad I'm going to beu00a0-- whether I'll be a doting father or a strict disciplinarian. But I hope that I am pleasant enough (laughs).

Wah Ava!
My wife Shabana and I are not too much into fancy stuff, so we didn't make any elaborate preparations for Ava's home coming. But yes, we have got a separate room for her that's stocked with toys. Although she stays in our room right now, when she's older, she might want to have a room to herself. I'm going to give her the freedom to decide what she wants to do. I can't say that I expect her to follow in my footsteps and become an actor, because frankly, I don't believe in having expectations.

Child's play
But I just hope she doesn't turn out to be like me. I was a very stubborn child and quite a pain too. I would sulk most of the time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed about Ava now.
