Arjun Bijlani to become a papa

TV actor Arjun Bijlani, who is trying his luck in Bollywood, is ecstatic. Reason: He will become a father in January.

He had tied the knot with girlfriend Neha Swamy in May, last year. Arjun says, "I was at loss for words and didn't know how to react to the news. I was happy, nervous and excited at the same time."

The actor says that they wanted to be young parents. "We believe right things should happen at the right time and family planning is one of them. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. Also, I don't think becoming a father would have any adverse effect on my career. I lost my dad when I was just 19. The word papa has been missing from my life for so long and my baby will fill that vacuum now."

Has the couple thought of a name? "It will start with A or N," he answers.
