Tusshar Kapoor On Being A Single Father To Son Laksshya

When asked about the common misconception of being a single parent, Tusshar Kapoor said, “No, the only misconception that I would think people have about being a single parent is that it becomes more challenging- ‘ How do you do so many things? How do you manage?’ I feel it’s challenging depending on how the family structure is. You know, if I’m a hands-on parent, I don’t think it’s going to be as challenging because I like doing what I’m doing, and I manage my time that way.”

The actor continued, “But in a situation where there is a couple and maybe one parent is not involved, then it almost becomes like a single-parent family only because one parent is doing all the work. So, it’s equally challenging in that regard. It’s about how you take it. How ready you are for it. And I think I had been ready for it, and that’s why I got into it. So, it doesn’t feel like a chore, or a pressure, or an added responsibility. It feels like a part of me. That’s why I don’t see it as a challenge at all.”

Concluding, he said, “People have this misconception that, ‘Mera sir dard ho raha hoga. Main kaam bhi kar raha hoon, ghar bhi bhaag raha hoon.’ No. I do what I feel like doing. And I’m not somebody who socialises a lot. So, whenever I’m not working, my time is for my son. It just makes my life wonderful.”

Tusshar On Pap Culture

Speaking of how he protects his son, Laksshya, from today’s pap culture, the actor said, “Yeah, I try to keep him away from the limelight. I don’t post much about him anymore, or I’ve stopped posting about him. But generally, you can’t avoid it. Agar thoda bahut organically ho raha hai, you can’t do anything about it.”

Kapoor added, “But I don’t insist on having him come in front with me, and I don’t get him clicked. I let him go into the party or the function on his own, and then I join him after I finish doing the paparazzi pictures. I don’t bring him with me. I don’t want him to face the limelight right now. But agar thoda bahut ho raha hai, it’s okay. He has to be aware of the fact that I’m part of this profession, and he has to live with it.”

He added, “He gets irritated. He asks, “Why do they come and take your picture? Why do they keep coming and asking you for autographs, Papa?” He gets a little annoyed. He’s into football, so he doesn’t give a damn about Bollywood yet.”

Tusshar Kapoor has a son, Laksshya Kapoor, whom he welcomed via surrogacy in 2016. The actor embraced parenthood as a single father. Laksshya is deeply passionate about football, often playing as a defender, and remains actively engaged in outdoor activities. The duo frequently makes public appearances together in Mumbai, often spotted visiting local temples in the Juhu area.
