In an interview with ETimes, Jay Bhanushali opened up about his daughter, Tara's growing popularity. He shared that he and his wife, Mahhi have mutually decided to let their daughter do whatever she wants to do in her life. He also added that they have no problem if tomorrow she wants to be an actress. Sharing how popular Tara has become, Jay said:
"I don’t know if she knows I am a celebrity but she has definitely become a celebrity. Because nowadays when we visit a mall, people come and ask for a selfie with her. She even invites people to click pictures with her. I think she loves clicking pictures. I’ve never stopped her from doing anything. Mahhi and I’ve decided that we will let her do whatever she wants to do in life. Tomorrow if she wants to be an actor it’s her choice, her wish, who are we to stop. If she wants to be an air hostess, I would still not stop her because that is what her heart says."
Jay has started taking his daughter, Tara as a special company on the sets of his reality show these days, and her presence makes the show a lot more fun. In the same interview, the actor also shared the reason behind taking his daughter on the sets of DID Lil Masters Season 5 as he said:
"I take her on the sets purposely so that she sees these young kids performing. I take her on the sets so that she can see how hardworking and talented these kids are. I’ve made up my mind that maybe every week or in every few couple of weeks I will call her on the sets and she should watch these kids perform."

Recently, Tara's pictures with actresses, Sonali Bendre and Kiara Advani, had gone viral on social media, and they were too cute to be missed. When Jay was asked about Tara's viral pictures, the proud father said:
"I still remember Sonali ma’am was doing her makeup and my daughter Tara is quite obsessed with makeup how normally kids are. She met Mouni, Remo and interacted with them and then she saw Sonali Bendre ma’am with her makeup vanity. She decided to sit there and Sonali ma’am was also quite kind enough to share her makeup and she was showing her mirror to her. She really enjoyed herself. She loves makeup and if you want to be friends with her just get her makeup."
When Jay was asked if he is strict with his daughter, Tara and whether he has certain dos and don'ts for her at home, the doting daddy revealed that she doesn't listen to him. He added that she only does the things as per her mom, Mahhi. Sharing that he doesn't allow Tara to wear makeup and watch videos on his phone for a long time, Jay said:
"I don’t allow her to wear makeup, but now she has started bossing me around. She doesn’t listen to me. She knows very well that ghar mein kiski chalti hai. She switches herself accordingly. She behaves as Mahhi says because she knows our house runs according to her. I try my best to tell her not to do certain things and there are few things where Mahhi also doesn’t stop me from being strict. I don’t allow her to watch videos on the iPad on the phone for longer hours. I emphasise more on making her learn or do practical things."
On the work front, Jay is currently hosting the dance reality show, DID Lil Masters Season 5.
