Ananda Everingham is absolutely smitten with his young son Phukhin, who is in an adorable stage of development. Both grandparents are competing to help raise him, and just seeing his face instantly brightens life. Ananda speaks openly about experiencing 'the purest love' he's ever known. The devoted father recently appeared at a movie premiere on May 12 at Paragon Cineplex in Siam Paragon for '3 Good Guys,' where he gushed about his son Phukhin. He revealed that raising the boy is easy—he's good-natured and has captured everyone's hearts in the household. Ananda emphasizes that just seeing his son's face makes tiredness disappear and his life brighter instantly, calling this 'the purest love' he's ever experienced.

When asked if he's getting enough sleep as a new father, Ananda responded enthusiastically: 'Honestly, raising him isn't difficult at all. I can't speak for others' experiences, but we're very happy. Phukhin is wonderful with us. I'm grateful. Just stay this cute. He's easy to raise and in an adorable phase. After two months, he's starting to see us—recognizing dad and mom, playing with us. He's quite good-natured. The grandparents are completely smitten and competing to care for him. Our life is easy. If we want to be with him, we just go ahead and do it.'

Regarding clothing, he quipped: 'My wife handles that. Clothes are never enough—there's always a reason they're necessary. Lately, we've been hearing about creating content, but it's not like we're doing it just for that. We use the photos ourselves. Last week we even dressed him in full Chinese New Year attire.'

When asked if his son has fulfilled him, Ananda said: 'Definitely. Everyone says the same thing—that life changes when you have a child. I don't say anything different from anyone else. Just seeing his face makes our life bright instantly.' His eyes sparkle noticeably when talking about his son.

On childcare duties, Ananda explained: 'We don't really call each other because so many family members help out. Whoever wakes up early can pick him up. Mostly I get the evening shift when relatives aren't available in the morning—after 9 a.m. so everyone can eat and bathe. We pick him up again after noon, or if Phukhin wakes at noon, I take the evening shift depending on the day. I'm the one who takes over when others need to do something.'

When asked how attached he is to his son, Ananda laughed: 'Well, for this event, I scheduled it so I could still come. It's not like I'd rush home to see him. Today I realized this is my evening shift, so I can help out. Or maybe I'll get back and see some content first. Will dad dress up nicely? Mom might force us to take photos, but if he's asleep, it's easier.'

On how many hours daily he plans to spend with his son, Ananda replied: 'It varies. Recently we went on a trip—it was his first plane ride, and we were together the whole time. But when we got back, the grandmother missed him so much she came to pick him up.'

Regarding his son's development, Ananda noted: 'It's progressing quite well—his strength, responsiveness. I'm not sure if people are just making me happy, but the doctor said he's developing quickly.'

On what personality traits are emerging, Ananda shared: 'He communicates well. He's got his signature move now—he likes to purse his lips, and it's adorable. Whether he's hungry or needs something, instead of crying, he just comes for milk. Camera-ready and cute—he has his own expressions. We're having so much fun. My wife often says she wishes he'd stay this way forever. She says once he grows up and isn't like this anymore, she wants to savor these moments as much as possible, so we need to spend lots of time with him. As much as possible. If you have a child, you'll understand—life really does change. I can say without hesitation that this is the purest love. It's the clearest goal I've ever had.'
