In a recent interview, Ali and Richa shared their aspirations for their daughter's future. Ali articulated his hope for her to inherit compassion for nature, saying, 'I have seen things that I don't wish upon anyone. I have also seen some things that I feel have gone missing in the new genration and need to be reinstated. Our value system need to be carried forward. I want my child to have some level of compassion. I want a future where we have trees and clean air.'
Richa added 'I don't think any of ourkids will have a better life than we did. The rate at which we are destroying the environment, its not going to b fun for anyone. However, I have a lot of faith in Gen Z, Alpha, and their ability to dissect things like gender and climate activism. They inspire me. We are living through an event of mass extinction, deforestation, heat wave warnings, all over the world the tide is tilting towards authoritarianism. There's war and violence. I am hopeful for a better future but it's stupid to think that we don't have to work to do.
