Actor Aftab Shivdasani and wife Nin Dusanj welcomed their first child, a girl, on July 28 in London UK). The news came as a surprise for many, including Shivdasani’s friends in the industry. The actor says he and his wife wanted to keep things private. Excerpts:

We chose to keep it a surprise as some things in life are private and sacred. It wasn’t easy as this is not something one can hide! But we planned it, and decided to have the baby in London just to get some space and some quality time for ourselves as well.

The pandemic was always at the back of our minds... We didn’t focus too much on the negative but instead tried to have a positive mindset.

I’m looking forward to nurturing and loving this beautiful child of ours... Changing nappies to taking care of Nin and the baby. In fact, the only thing I’m not looking forward to is staying away from them.

These are exciting and busy times for us... But it’s most important to multi-task and plan your day wisely so we can have that work-life balance. Nin, being super organised, helps in all of this as she has great management skills.
