00:00My biggest insecurity is like when my children are like 20 and 21, I'll be like 60.
00:06Will I be able to like play football with them? Will I be able to run with them?
00:09How are you both have plans to continue walking while raising your daughter?
00:31Well, firstly, it's beyond, I mean, it's a delight.
00:37You know, I never expected to feel this way.
00:39Raha completed her one month birthday yesterday.
00:46You know, me and Alia discuss this often, you know, that what are the value system that you want to pass on to your child.
00:52It's about empathy. It's about kindness. It's about respecting your elders, about equality.
00:57You know, you have so many different things that you have probably imbibed from your parents or from life that you want to pass on to your child.
01:04But I think the most important thing is to set an example, you know, is to be these qualities to your child.
01:16I think a child learns more when they experience it.
01:20And as parents, you have to embody these, you know, these emotions, these attributes of kindness, of you've got to be these people.
01:30And that's how the child will imbibe that.
01:32Where work is concerned, I think Alia and myself really value time away from work.
01:39You know, I anyways don't work that much. I work around 200 or 180 days a year.
01:43Alia does a lot of work. She is way more busy than I am.
01:46So I think we will balance it out. You know, when she takes work, probably I'll take a break.
01:50And when I take work, she'll take a break. But it's a very exciting time in our life.
01:54You know, we were boyfriend, girlfriend a couple of years back.
01:59Then we became husband and wife. And now we are parents.
02:01And just yesterday we were talking that, you know, the word that I have a daughter, it still has not hit me.
02:07You know, because I've not said this enough. Right now I'm in an interview, so I'm saying my daughter.
02:11But when I say the word daughter, I was like, wow, what is this?
02:15It's like, you know, there's stars in my brains right now.
02:18After becoming a father, what is the difference between like previous life and now?
02:23How you are managing your life?
02:25I'm wondering that why did I take so long? I should have become a father sooner, you know.
02:30Like my biggest insecurity is like when my children are like 20 and 21, I'll be like 16.
02:37Will I be able to like play football with them? Will I be able to run with them?
02:41Yeah, but I think like I mentioned earlier, it's a delight. It's joy like I never experienced.
