5 Bollywood onscreen fathers who prove that daddies can be cool too

The first role model or hero in a child’s life is his father. But, the portrayal of a father in the cinema always tends to make him look distant or as an authoritarian figure! And, while we’ll always remember the Maa from ‘Deewaar’, ‘Karan Arjun’ or ‘Rang De Basanti’, here are a few characters that prove why daddies are the coolest also!

When talking about cool parents, and fathers in particular, how can we not include Gajraj Rao on the top of our list? From playing the ultimate ‘Father’ in the movie ‘Badhai Ho’ & TVF’s ‘Fathers’, he does have a high ‘Daddy-cool’ quotient, don’t you think?
