Purab Kohli’s Bold Stand On Being An Unmarried Father

Purab Kohli has a love child with his fiancé, Lucy Payton.

Purab Kohli is proud of his love child, Inaya with fiancé, Lucy Payton. When so many people are afraid of societal pressure before taking such a huge step, the couple chose this path rather than jumping to tie the knot.

When Inaya was conceived, we were not married and it didn’t matter to me. When Lucy called me and said, ‘Hey we are having a baby and I said wow. Let’s do it.’

Purab and his fiancé, Lucy who is a UK based yoga teacher welcomed a baby girl when the actor was in the middle of the filming of his next, Rock On!! 2.

There was pressure to get married. My mother was the most concerned and my family did say you guys have to get married quickly when she was pregnant. But I was adamant about not doing it because I never wanted my baby to feel that we got into a relationship because she was coming. Her coming into this world has transformed both our lives for the better. She is our love child and has bloomed even more love between both of us and made me love life more. I don’t want her to ever feel that it was not meant to be. It was meant in every possible way and she was the force of nature and nothing could stop her from coming into this world.

We have legally signed the papers and will have a big celebration next year in London. We just want Inaya to be standing on her two feet and hold the flowers while we take our vows.

The actor also shared how close he is to his baby girl.

Fatherhood changes everything. Fatherhood is a gift I wish upon everybody, especially of a baby girl. When you have a child, you stop living for yourself. Lucy points out that she hasn’t seen any of her friends whose husbands have had such a strong relationship with their baby in the first year. Inaya and I have a strong connection and we have fun together.
