This is your first birthday with your daughter?
Fatherhood has been absolutely the most magical experience of my life. Every day with Navya is an absolute blessing. And there's so much to learn and just grow as an individual as well as a couple. And yeah, we're just so happy and blessed that we have a beautiful day because it's amazing. It's changed my perspective on a lot of things in life.
Are you now in a hurry to return home every day?
Actually, this is a perfect question because whenever I'm out, be it for a meeting, for an event, or for a shoot, she's constantly on my mind. And of course, we have that little baby camera so we can see her even when we're travelling. But yeah, you just want to come home or you just want to have her with you at all times 24×7, 365 days a year.It's like I'm addicted to my daughter right now.

Tanuj, your birthday wishes?
As always, my birthday wishes for my family and my near dear ones are just to be happy, be healthy, and do good. It will be a good thing. And yeah, just live and let live. There is too much hate in the world. It's time we start spreading a little bit of love.
What are you working on now?
Next up, I've got a show coming out with Applause Entertainment called DAU, Domestic Antiterrorism Unit. It’s a crime-based saga. I play an ACP in it. I’ve got this really funky film coming out with Vijay Raaz, director by Saurav Verma called Johnny Jumper. I’m starting in the second season of Rana Naidu. I’ve been a massive fan of that show, so I’m really excited about that. And I’ve done a rom-com with Tridha Choudhury called Puppy Love. So these are some of the projects that I can currently talk about that are coming out in the near future.
