Gone are the days when a man’s role was just to make his wife pregnant and relax in his armchair leaving the trials and tribulation of childrearing to the woman.

Contemporary men take part in every move in their family from planning a baby to accompanying the wife during monthly checkups and also be with their better half during labor.

This kind of attitude certainly reinforces the bond between life partners which goes a long way in making a marriage a grand success.

In Kollywood too there are many young actors of today who are keen to be an integral part in their wife’s confinement. Despite his busy schedule Surya was with Jyothika during the last month of her pregnancy and savored the arrival of the newborn together. Guess our heroes are turning metrosexual and Ajith doesn't want to be left behind. When it comes to ultimate star Ajith, it has been reported that currently he is with Shalini all the twenty four hours looking to her needs and taking care of her. There are some communities in Tamilnadu in which men folk grow beard when their wives are in family way. This seems to be the reason for Ajith to sport a beard these days. It has also been said that Ajith has practically postponed all his work to end of January and would be starting his next venture with Raju Sundaram only after the baby’s arrival which is said to be in the first week of January 2008.
