Kareena Kapoor Khan's 'Coolest Hubby' Saif Ali Khan Speaks On Paternity Leaves Ahead Of Her Delivery

According to the norm, time off after the birth of the baby was a new mom thing but over the years, fortunately, men want to spend quality time with the newborn and hence, apply for paternity leaves. In this cultural shift, men have started seeing paternity leaves as essential and not optional. This time off gives newbie fathers an opportunity to be a primary caregiver of the newborn and it promotes gender equity in personal as well as work sphere. Celebs too, opt for paternity leaves to be hands-on with their newborns. Just like the last three times, this time too, Saif Ali Khan will be taking paternity leave after the birth of his child. (Also Read: 'Ishqbaaaz' Nakuul Mehta Showers Love On His Wife, Jankee After Becoming Parents Of A Baby Boy)

Ahead of the birth of his fourth child, Saif Ali Khan spoke about the importance of paternity leaves and how it’s a growing phenomenon. For the doting father, Saif, it’s something he had done years ago when his first child, Sara Ali Khan was born. In an interview with Elle, Saif said, “Who wants to work when you have a newborn at home! If you don’t see your children growing up, you’re making a mistake. And I can take time off from work—it’s a privileged position. Rather than follow a 9-to-5 routine, I live like an actor. Your dharma and approach to everything are based on your career.” Sharing the magazine cover featuring Saif in his uber cool and handsome look, Kareena had written, “The coolest husband ever,” followed by heart emoticons.
