6 Bollywood Dads Who Are Cooler Than Their Kids

From Anupam Kher’s playing Dharamvir Malhotra in DDLJ to Anil Kapoor’s essaying the role of Kamal Mehra in Dil Dhadakne Do, Bollywood has given us some very cool on-screen dads. The best bit? Some of these actors happen to be cool dads IRL as well! In fact, some of them are even cooler than their kids. This Father’s Day, how about we take a look at some of the coolest Bollywood dads?

Shah Rukh Khan

SRK is as good a father as he is an actor and that is something to say. In an old interview, SRK shared how he bonds with Aryan Khan over gaalis. He said, “I’m a really cool father. When I am with Aryan sometimes, we just lay down in our shorts without our shirts and we crack some dirty jokes. He gets really excited telling me about gaalis he’s learnt. I’m from Delhi and I’ve also been that age and my vocabulary of Hindi gaalis is fantastic.” While SRK has some of the most hatke ways to bond with his kids, his charm, wittiness, and sense of humour also help him retain that “cool dad” title.

Suniel Shetty

While Ahan Shetty is emerging as the latest national crush, dad Suniel Shetty will always be the one to give him tough competition. Suniel is 61 years old and gotta say, the man has aged like a fine wine. His salt-and-pepper hair, ripped physique, and cool style make him one of the most good-looking dads on the block. It helps that this cool dad is often seen jamming and making reels with young influencers. He was also part of the Norwegian dance group Quick Style’s dance video that broke the internet in March 2023.

Jackie Shroff

Tiger Shroff has established himself as a complete package in Bollywood. He is good-looking, ripped, classy, and has got some serious moves. But his dad takes the award when it comes to being real and cool AF. Jackie is known for his laid-back nature and unfiltered opinions. He speaks from his heart and never shies away from showing his real self. And we gotta love a man who is always teaching everyone to plant more trees. Nothing’s cooler than that, right?

Chunky Panday

Ananya Panday is easily the coolest Gen Z stars. But did you know there’s someone in the Panday fam cooler than her? Why, of course, we are talking about Chunky Panday! A star in his own right, Chunky is adored by everyone for his epic sense of humour and goofy side. Ananya once even jokingly shared how she doesn’t want people to come over as her father is always roaming around in a towel.

Anil Kapoor

The time has stood still for For Anil Kapoor. The man just refuses to age and continues being one of the fitted desi stars. Even in the style department, Anil can give Sonam Kapoor a run for her money. Well, that explains it all! Safe to say, Anil is the coolest of the Kapoors.

Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara Ali Khan is known for her goofy and fun personality. Just like Sara, Saif too has a reputation for being unfiltered AF. How can we forget that Koffee With Karan episode where the father-daughter duo came as guests? It was proof that Saif is one of the coolest Bollywood dads.
