Suniel Shetty says wives should prioritize kids while husbands work
What's the story
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty shared his views on the changing dynamics of marriage and parenting. He stressed that today's generation lacks patience and emphasized the need for understanding in a marriage. "After a while, marriage becomes a compromise; you need to understand and live for each other," he said. "You need to understand and live for each other."
Parenting views
'It's important for the wife...'
Shetty also spoke about the responsibilities that come with having children. He controversially remarked, "Then comes a child, and it's important for the wife to understand that if the husband is building his career, she will be the one looking after the child." "Of course, the husband will be involved too. But there's a lot of pressure on everything nowadays."
Parenting advice
'Everyone wants to give advice...'
Shetty also criticized the digital age for distorting expectations in relationships. He said, "Everyone wants to give advice today. The virtual world tells you how to be a mother, how to be a father, what to eat, what to do." "I believe learning through experience is better from your grandmother, mother, sisters and in-laws." "So keep what works for you and leave the rest. But a lot has changed. Now, people are getting divorced even before the wedding takes place."
Personal journey
The actor launched a mental health app
Shetty admits back in the day "we didn't even know what mental strength meant." "No one talked about depression. If you were down, your mom would just smack you once and all the depression would disappear." In 2023, Shetty launched a mental health app called Let's Get Happi to provide round-the-clock access to real-time therapy. Meanwhile, on the work front, Shetty is currently seen in Hunter 2, which is streaming on Amazon MX Player.
