Many of my friend's husbands are happy to be a homemaker. My husband has a great ad agency but he decided to step back so that I can relive my dreams"
She continues, "For men to do this is something very commendable. Men have changed over time. Even women are no longer that prataadit (torture) or regressive. At least in cities, it's not the case. In rural areas, this may be still on. A woman goes through a lot but one man can change her life. Be it her son or husband or father, all we need is wings to fly. We need love and respect and always support us."

Mai ladka hu mai nahi roota. Nahi baba ladke bhi roote hai.(Mumma that girl was crying, I'm a boy so I don't cry. No, a man can also cry.) Crying doesn't make you weak, it makes you a human. It's not that a girl cries because she is a girl. We cry because we tend to show our emotions very easily. My son has seen his gather home. He has seen the role reversal. Kids tend to learn from what they see than they are taught."
She continues, "He has seen the best example from his father rather I should say Ashwin is the best mother. There can not be a better mother than Ashwin. We went to a party and he asked me that did Rudransh ate well. I said he ate so many burgers and this and that and he said you can't say like this and you can't count on food. I said you have become a pakka mother."
