Kapil Sharma, one of India’s most popular comedians, may be known for making millions laugh, but at home, it’s his daughter Anayra who brings him joy and teaches him new things. As the world celebrated Daughters’ Day on September 22, Kapil opened up about his relationship with his 5-year-old daughter, sharing heartwarming details about how she has changed his life in ways he never imagined.
Spending Time with Family Is Now Kapil’s Priority
During the pandemic, when Anayra was just a few months old, Kapil got the chance to bond with his daughter in ways he never thought possible. He shared, “During those days, I swapped my mic for diaper duty and experienced all the small joys of being a father. From putting her to sleep at 5 AM to burping her, I did it all.”
This special time with his daughter has made Kapil more focused on family. The comedian now prefers staying home and spending time with his two children, Anayra and Trishaan. “Talking to Anayra is like meditation for me. I feel a lot of positive changes have happened in my life since becoming a father,” he said.
Kapil’s Social Circle Has Changed
With his new family priorities, Kapil’s social life has also taken a backseat. He admits that his circle of friends has reduced as he now chooses to spend most of his free time with his children. He shared how he has become more disciplined, saying, “I’ve even become an early riser now, something neither my mother nor Ginni (his wife) could manage to get me to do.”
Kapil’s love for sleep is well-known, but Anayra has managed to change his routine. He makes it a point to wake up early just to see her off to school every morning. “I even plan my work schedule in such a way that I can spend time with my kids,” he said with pride.
Anayra Helps Kapil Improve His English
Kapil also revealed that his daughter has had a surprising influence on his learning habits. He said with a laugh, “What colleges and universities couldn’t do, Anayra did. She’s been helping me improve my English.”
Kapil recalled a cute moment when Anayra was excited to meet British singer Ed Sheeran, who was set to appear on his show. “I was practising some of Ed’s songs, and Anayra started singing ‘Shape of You.’ I was amazed at how much she already knew!” Kapil said, clearly proud of his daughter’s growing knowledge.
This bond between Kapil and his daughter highlights how family can bring unexpected growth and learning in the most joyful ways.
