Singer Rahul Vaidya and his actor-wife Disha Parmar were blessed their little munchkin, Navya, in September last year, and he says that life has “changed completely” since her arrival.
“Now, there is a check for everything I do in life now. It has made me much milder and mindful, it has calmed me down as a human being," he continues, “When you have a daughter at home, you kind of end up thinking, ‘Agar koi meri beti ko aise bolega, toh mujhe kaisa lagega?' My respect for women generally in life has gone up. I do have a daughter with whom I have been blessed with.”
Sharing plans for his first Father’s Day with Navya, the 36-year-old says, “I’ll spend the whole day with her. She is just the cutest. I love holding her in my arms and just being. I’ll just give her a lot of kisses and hugs.”
For Vaidya, becoming a girl dad is an honour. “It’s because of her that I have become a father, she has given me that honour. It’s the best blessing that I could have ever asked for. Maine Jo maanga tha vo mujhe upar waale ne diya, I wanted a daughter. I don’t think there can be anything more special than this,” he expresses.

I don’t want her to pursue something specific. But, the way she is very energetic, I think she can be a good athlete. Bahut hi energy se per failaati hai. That is her way of showing excitement,” he ends.
