Indian tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi was spotted on the court late Tuesday evening, but this time around just as a coach. The athlete spent his evening bonding with his daughter Saira over a game of tennis.

While the little one took the court, daddy Bhupathi was seen standing on the sidelines and cheering his girl as she practised her serve and swings. After a good training session, made sure Saira did her cool down routine as he packed up her bag and headed off the court.

One cheerleader missing on the court was mommy Lara Dutta. The actress seemed to have sat this match out and let Mahesh enjoy some father-daughter time.

On the work front, Lara will be seen next in the Akshay Kumar starrer, ‘Bell Bottom’. The film was the first Bollywood production to go on floors after covid-19 restrictions were eased out. The team flew out to Scotland for the shoot that wrapped up in just over 30 days.

After completing their scheduled shoot in Scotland, the team headed to London to film a small portion of the spy thriller. The film was originally slated for a 2 April 2021, but it remains to be seen if the team will stick to the date or postpone it owing to the current pandemic situation.
