Shaheer Sheikh and Ruchika Kapoor, whose love story has been marked as one of the most remarkable ones in the tinsel town. The stars have recently been blessed with an adorable baby daughter, on which Sheikh said that he always wanted a baby girl.

Talking to HT, he said, “It has been my dream to be a dad. I always wanted a girl and told Ruchikaa so, whenever she asked.”

He added, “I will be the one to remind people not to be too loud or don’t do this. My friends tease me. I was excited to know (about the pregnancy) as I have always loved kids. I have three nieces and one nephew and I have taken care of them for months, some from the day they were born. It is just so amazing. I can be myself when I am around kids. I don’t know why but many guys don’t feel or express these feelings. Childbirth is the biggest miracle on earth. It is the most beautiful process. When you feel the kick, it is just so wonderful. Women are looked after during pregnancies, and rightly so as they go through so much, but the men, too, should get some attention as a father goes through a lot emotionally as well. In India, men are supposed to be strong, not supposed to share or have emotions. I am not that kind of person and express myself.”

When asked what kind of a father he will be, he said, “I might spoil my child. But I also know that I will never force my thoughts or views on my child,”
