‘Ekta and I Will Play The Roles Of A Mother and Father To Our Babies’ – Tusshar Kapoor!
The actor reveals all about the challenges that single parents face.
Its now confirmed that Ekta does not only change norms on the professional front but on the personal front as well. After re-defining the meaning of content with her films and digital content, the lady recently became a mother to baby boy Ravie Kapoor via surrogacy. And this makes Ekta the first single mother in tinsel town to have done so. While we too assert that this step of Ekta’s is only the stepping stone for a change in the society’s mentality with regards to surrogacy, brother Tusshar who too has a baby boy via surrogacy, also feels the same.

And when the daily quizzed him about the challenges faced by single parents, an unfazed Tusshar revealed, “I have handled both the parents’ duties for the last two years and so will Ekta. There’s no difference here. Bringing up your child well is the most important thing. I feel, having a father and a mother and a complete family on paper is not as relevant as giving the child the right upbringing.”
He continued, “As individuals, Ekta and I can play both roles because we have the ability to be protective, caring, sensitive and at times, stern. I’ve picked up more lessons in this regard and she’ll do it in due course. I think the way the whole nation accepted Lakkshya, (Karan Johar’s children) Roohi and Yash, they will also accept Ravie and give him all the love he deserves. Ekta will get the same love that Karan and I have got as single parents.”
When he was asked if he will offer any advice or tips to Ekta on parenting, Tusshar said, “I don’t have any lessons to give her, because parenting is based on instincts which you pick up as you go along the way. The only thing we have to remember and believe is that our life will now centre on our kids and they will always be our top priority. You have to restructure everything according to their needs and happiness. Everything else will follow.” Well, we completely agree with every word that Tusshar has said here.
