​Meet the real-life 'daddy cool' of Kannada telly industry​

2/6

​Akul Balaji

He might be one of the most happening hosts of Kannada television, but his love and affectionate towards his beloved 'son-shine' is worth a mention. Akul makes sure he spends ample time with his son and makes sure to keep a tab on him even during his working hours.

3/6

​Vijay Suriya

The dimpled king of the Kannada telly world is blessed with a baby boy recently. From waking up to his daily dose of cuteness to putting his son Sohan to sleep, the actor seems to be enjoying being a new daddy.

4/6

​Vinay Gowda

He is one of the most successful actors on the big screen and the small screen of late. But his warmth and care for his son can never be missed. Be it a simple assignment from school or setting fashion goals, Vinay makes it a point to be there for his son always.

5/6

​Sihi Kahi Chandru

Sihi Kahi Chandru is blessed with two daughters, Hitha and Kushi. While Hitha got married to the love of her life Kiran Srinivasa, Kushi is pursuing her studies in a reputed college in Bangalore.

6/6

Mithun Tejasvi

Be it playing the role of a possessive dad or a baddie, Mithun surely knows to ace the character. Nevertheless, the actor also knows to pamper his son in real-life and spend quality time with him.
