Golmaal Again actor Tusshar Kapoor has taken his single dad role quite seriously. When he is out shooting, he takes his 16-month-old son Lakshya along.

“It is an excuse for me to spend more time with him. Also it is good to take him out of the city’s polluted air once in a while,” said Tusshar. Lakshya was born of a surrogate mother last June.

When told his decision to be a single parent is inspiring, Tusshar said: “It is not so uncommon abroad. Here this trend is catching up too.”
