What does it take to raise a child? A lot of goof-ups, apparently. In this conversation with Kareena, Neha Dhupia tries to decode motherhood.

Thanks to Filmy Mirchi!

00:00So we left the building and we both forgot that our daughter is still upstairs with the nurse
00:05because we are not used to having our child with us.
00:08So we just left her for a drive.
00:10I get very disturbed when I see moms with like perfect hair day and perfect hair, perfect make-up
00:17and I'm just like, why am I not this person? This can't be real.
00:22I'm an explorer online. So the more you explore about motherhood, it's like
00:26Instagram and Twitter and everybody just suddenly gets to know you become a mom.
00:30So the only things that pop up on your feed.
00:32And it's nice for me. I just feel like
00:35I feel really good when another mom puts up pictures where she's having a really tough time
00:45because I'm like, I'm not alone in this, you know.
00:47I get very disturbed when I see moms with like perfect hair day and perfect hair, perfect make-up
00:54and I'm just like, why am I not this person? This can't be real.
00:57Yeah, no, but I think we have to manage that.
01:00And I think, you know, like you're managing it. It just happens.
01:03Also parenting goof-ups, we all do, you know, like I do it all the time.
01:08Do you and Angad have ever had any goof-ups and like, tell us about that.
01:13Yeah, I mean, many times, once we were going somewhere
01:19and we left his entire food bag somewhere.
01:22And the big thing is when you're like breastfeeding and you're sitting with a bump
01:27and you're expressing all that milk and suddenly Angad was like in the night,
01:31he's just like, okay, where's the AC remote?
01:34And it's so hard, firstly, to make sure that you pump that much milk out.
01:39And he just went flying and I saw like, almost like literally, no point crying over spilt milk.
01:46I was crying over spilt milk. You can't imagine.
01:49So yeah, I mean, I was just like, oh my God, it's like six ounces just flew away.
01:54It didn't happen once, it happened many times.
01:56Oh my God.
01:57But little things like when she was very, very young,
02:02we had our nurse who was upstairs and she was taking care of her.
02:07And after that Angad was like, let's listen, let's take her for her first car drive.
02:11And I think it was for three months.
02:13She just about balanced her neck. So I said, okay, I'll get her.
02:16We both sat in the car.
02:18And after a while, I can't remember the exact time, but we both sat down and we left.
02:24So we left the building and we both forgot that our daughter is still upstairs with the nurse.
02:29Because we're not used to having our child with us.
02:32So we just left home for a drive.
02:34Now we've reached the ceiling.
02:36The purpose of the drive was what?
02:38We just left Mehr at home.
02:41So that was a big booboo.
02:43Neha, as new moms, sometimes we feel that we have to just be focused on our kids.
02:49And even though we want it all, we feel, you know, like we can't have it.
02:53I want you to tell me about a time where you were able to actually achieve,
02:57like do everything and achieve it all.
03:01Like everything.
03:02Like now, because we're so close to traveling.
03:04And when we travel, you know this, Peebo,
03:08and all moms across the board know this.
03:11Till the last minute, you're packing and you're like,
03:13what to put in the suitcase, what to put in the suitcase,
03:15now there's no packing, now there's no packing, kind of thing.
03:18So I think that, you know, when I'm packed,
03:20I send the suitcase down and it's lying in the car two days before we have to leave.
03:24So that's when I feel like I'm a super mom.
03:27I've achieved it all.
03:28That's a fab idea.
03:29Because even actually, even I do that.
03:31I'm always like, no, no.
03:32In fact, I did it 3-4 days before.
