During their outing, the couple also headed to Teton Toys.

"They seemed very normal. It was just a normal, happy day," a source said.

"They were both smiling and having a good time."

According to eonline.com, the couple bought a pink PlasmaCar before leaving the local store.

"The film spread so far and wide, and reached so many people, because of Amitabh Bachchan," Roy Chowdhury said after "Pink" was adjudged "the best film on other social issues" in the National Film Awards announced earlier during the day.

Bachchan essayed the role of a retired lawyer in the movie that created a flutter with its content that challenged rigid social concepts and underscored sensitively the rights and dignity of women.

Praising the entire team, he said "Pink" was made with of love and belief.

Chowdhury recalled that he had originally wanted to do the film in Bengali but producer Shoojit Sircar and Ronnie Lahiri suggested it be made in Hindi.

"Through our film you will realise education has become a business now. It is absolutely important to have education, but at the same time it should flourish the capabilities of a person and it should evolve the personality of the human being," Irrfan said at the trailer launch on Thursday. 

The "Piku" star feels that "education now has become more of a tool to fix a human being into a corporate system or a particular profession".

The film deals with the stereotype of sending the children to an English medium school as the language has become a class nowadays from just being a language. 

Irrfan says the film gives a subtle message that language cannot be a unit to measure and judge an individual's worthiness.

Sujetha Shetty, nutritionist and diet expert at online fitness platform Gympik, and Gulneer Puri, dietician at tele-medicine platform Doctor Insta, suggest how:

* Grains: Choose whole grains such as whole-wheat bread, oatmeal, quinoa or brown bread. Whole grains are good sources of Vitamin B and fibre which fill your child's tummy and help improving digestion.

* Protein: Proteins are the building blocks which are important for maintaining and repairing tissues, making haemoglobin, improving immunity, and helping muscles grow. The sources of protein include seafood, eggs, lean meat and poultry, legumes, peas, beans, soy products, unsalted nuts and seeds.

* Fruits: Including fruits and vegetables in your child's diet is one of the major difficulties you might have already faced. Encourage your child to eat a variety of fresh fruits. Let fruit juice be the last option as the juice takes out the fibre that comes from the whole fruit. Also, fruit juices come with loads of added sugar that only contribute to empty calories sans nutrition. If your child drinks juice, make sure you make it at home without adding sugar.

Khan is all praise for Karan's autobiography "An Unsuitable Boy".

"You need tremendous courage to share your most private thoughts. He has tremendous courage of conviction. This is why we all love and respect him in our family. We wish a great life for his two children the angels Yash and Hiroo," he said, referring to Karan's newly-born surrogate twins.
