Meanwhile, the actor was amazed by girl power. 'How do women/mothers do it? I'm walking around like a zombie and the Mrs. Is like a super trooper with a bit of bionic woman thrown in!!! Parent. And I finally understand why they still at the age of 35 treat me like a baby and cannot accept that I'm a grown man today. Much like my father @SrBachchan I too spent the day observing every little thing about the little one. But my greatest observation is..... I don't think I'll be any different,' he added
