Ayushmann Khurrana also took to his Instagram Story and reshared an old post with his baby picture and a shaving brush. " I don't shave, I trim my beard. But hey ladies, an overused shaving brush looks like a flower. Found it quite amusing lying on my friend's bathroom shelf. The smell of the foam makes me nostalgic. I used to find it very fascinating when my father used to shave every morning with a similar brush. #nostalgia #shave #outoffocus," the caption read.
Shahid Kapoor's wife Mira Kapoor also shared a picture of her daughter Misha and wrote, "The light of our lives, Happy Children's Day today and every day my babies. And one day you will learn true patience when you're sleepy and the lights are turned on at 6:30 am."
