NEW DELHI: As the world celebrates Mother’s Day, actor Kareena Kapoor Khan gave a special mention to all the fathers, including husband Saif Ali Khan, for their unwavering support.
The 37-year-old actor, who welcomed her first child, Taimur (now 17 months) with Saif in 2016, said a father’s role is equally important as that of the mother’s in raising the child.
“I chose to celebrate Mother’s Day with you all. But my son is celebrating Father’s Day with Saif and it has been possible because of that support,” Kareena said at panel discussion on UNICEF’s #EveryChildAlive campaign here.
“I’d really like to thank Saif… I was extremely exhausted after childbirth. First thing is you want to put your child on your chest, your breasts… To give warmth to the child. With my eyes half-shut, I would say, ‘Saif, put Taimur on your chest. Give him that kangaroo love’.
“When the mother is recuperating from childbirth, the father must step in. Today, we must champion those fathers. A shout-out to them as their help is important in the well being of the child,” she added.
The actor, who is UNICEF’s Goodwill Advocate, said the couple ensures that their son is taken care of by either of them. (AGENCIES)
