00:00 Bollywood power couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are renowned not only
00:04 for their stellar careers but also for their beautiful daughter, Aradhya, who is now 12
00:08 years old.
00:09 Recently, Abhishek delved into the intrasides of parenting, offering valuable insights on
00:14 how to navigate the challenges of raising children in an era marked by rapid technology
00:20 advancements and changing dynamics.
00:23 In an interview with a leading newspaper, Abhishek shared his thoughts on parenting,
00:27 particularly when it comes to dealing with rebellious children.
00:30 He emphasised a 'hands-off' approach, stating, "The thing is, do not try and deal with it.
00:36 That is life.
00:37 Every subsequent generation matures faster."
00:39 Abhishek acknowledged that the newer generation, including Aradhya, has grown up in a world
00:44 where information is readily accessible at their fingertips.
00:48 Drawing a thoughtful analogy, he explained, "I have a nephew and a niece, and they were
00:53 given a mobile phone when they turned 10.
00:55 My sister told me, 'Do you think he got upset you got a mobile phone at 22?'
01:01 This new generation is better informed."
01:02 Abhishek Bachchan also highlighted that he is not the primary caregiver at home.
01:07 He credited his wife, Aishwarya, for handling most of the responsibilities.
01:11 He stated, "I do not do the heavy lifting at home.
01:14 That is entirely done by my wife.
01:16 She allows me to go and do my work.
01:18 This division of roles in the household allows him to focus on his professional commitments."
01:23 Furthermore, Abhishek emphasized the importance of answering children's questions, rather
01:27 than imposing authority.
01:29 He noted that the newer generation questions things and seeks explanation rather than blindly
01:34 following orders, which is a natural consequence of growing up in a technology-driven world.
01:39 However, Abhishek's advice took a more serious turn when he stressed the need to respect
01:44 a child's dignity.
01:45 He cautioned against compromising a child's self-esteem during discipline, stating, "The
01:50 only parenting tip I can give anybody is never compromise on the child's dignity."
