Actor turned author Twinkle Khanna took to Instagram on Thursday and shared a post that featured her daughter Nitara. In the post, she explained how parents are not responsible for providing a ‘perfect childhood’ for their kids, instead it is up to them to honour their strengths and make them aware.
‘Our job is not to give our children perfect childhoods. It is to fill their heads with ideas, to honour their strengths and make them aware, but never underline their weaknesses. It involves loving them madly and throwing a few vegetables down their throats. We need to permanently dedicate a large number of our neurons towards their mosquito bites, bad grades and hurt feelings. And we must do all of this, day after day, without losing sight of everything we are and can be, along with being their mothers. Agree? Disagree? #perfectlyimperfectparenting,’ she captioned her post.
Twinkle’s fans and friends reacted to the post. Actor Hrithik Roshan, who co-parents his sons Hrehaan and Hridhaan, with ex-wife Sussanne Khan, reacted by posting raising Hands and red heart emojis. Sussanne also commented on the post and wrote, ‘So utterly beautifully said’ along with raising hands, clap and red heart emojis. Amrita Arora, Namrata Shirodkar, Malaika Arora, Tisca Chopra, Tahira Kashyap also commented on the post.
Twinkle is married to actor Akshay Kumar and the couple has two children, daughter Nitara and son Aarav.
