Actor Shahid Kapoor became a parent one more time when he and Mira welcomed the arrival of their son Zain a week ago. The actor said he had not been able to take time out for promotions of his upcoming film Batti Gul Meter Chalu.

Shahid already has a two-year-old daughter Misha who is reportedly not keeping so well these days.

On Wednesday, the actor took to Twitter to explain his absence from work. He wrote, “The last few days have been tough. Misha running very high fever and Zain just came home. Have had to miss some promotions. Just nine days to go for “Batti Gul meter chalu” to release but being a parent is above all else. Hope to resume promotions very soon.”

According to Times of India, Shahid has been having sleepless nights ever since Misha is down with high temperature. The doting father has been reportedly staying up 32-35 hours at a stretch.
