`The family man’ is a new tune Bollywood is signing these days. Stars seem to be latching on to it in order to enhance their ‘image’. While most eligible actors don’t mind wearing their girlfriends on their arms, the married ones, these days, like to be seen as perfect family men, loyal to their wives and playing perfect father figures to their children.

Another actor of the A-League who in spite of his initial Casanova image wears the ‘oh-I’m-so-loyal’ band on his arm is Akshay Kumar. Married to Twinkle for years, the man once in a while goes on record to say how much in love he is with Tina (as Twinkle is fondly called) or even goes the distance and does an impromptu unbuttoning act at a fashion show covered on national television. Not just that, Akki is proving to be a great dad to Aarav as well, and his doting father instinct is for all to see, when he confesses that he has already introduced his son to martial arts and has begun the process of making his son a man!
