Amitabh Bachchan's parents' advice to Varun Dhawan is too good; I know what it is

Dad Varun Dhawan got the best parenting advice from Shehenshah of Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan. Varun and his wife Natasha Dalal gave birth to a daughter on June 3 this year.
The episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, saw Varun promoting his film ‘Citadel: The Honey Bunny’, in which he stars opposite Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
In the series, the new father contacted Amitabh Bachchan about fatherhood and the traditions he follows. He spoke about the significance of this year’s Diwali for him as he prays to God to bless him with fatherhood. He also said that he lovingly calls his daughter Goddess Lakshmi.

Amitabh Bachchan’s tips for raising Varun

During the conversation, Amitabh Bachchan gave Varun some great advice. Recalling his early days as a parent, he gave some of the greatest parenting advice of all time: Make your wife happy.
Early parenthood requires the support and happiness of your wife. This creates good living conditions for the whole family. Life with a newborn is not easy: it brings with it sleepless nights, hormonal changes and the stress of new responsibilities. If a wife is valued and supported, her transition to motherhood becomes easier as she gains mental and emotional strength. A happy and supported mother is likely to provide better care for her baby because she will be emotionally available, less stressed, and less at risk of burnout.
Keeping the wife happy further strengthens the bond between husband and wife as at this point she will face tension due to several changes. Meeting her needs, sharing responsibilities, and providing emotional support demonstrates appreciation for the efforts and sacrifices she makes. This leads to mutual support and understanding to create a supportive environment that benefits both parents by encouraging teamwork and making parenting easier.

In turn, this has a positive impact on the child’s growth as babies grow more easily in a loving, stress-free environment. Happy parenting is simply a good solid foundation for a family, a foundation on which both members can feel valued and close, ready to be great parents in harmony and love.

Here’s how you can support your wife in the early days of motherhood:

  • Take over daily tasks such as changing diapers, preparing feedings and household chores. Freeing her from minor responsibilities gives her time to rest and adapt to new motherhood.
  • Young mothers often find it difficult to rest. Encourage her to nap when baby sleeps or take short breaks. This helps prevent burnout and conserves energy.
  • She may feel depressed, anxious or emotional. Listen to her without judgment and acknowledge her feelings. Open communication helps her feel supported and understood.
  • If possible, split night shifts to feed or soothe your baby. Taking turns allows her to get uninterrupted sleep, which is vital for her physical and mental recovery.
  • The first days can be chaotic. Be patient with her and with yourself. Be understanding when the routine isn’t ideal, as adjusting to parenthood is a gradual process for both of you.
  • Recognize her efforts, resilience, and growth as a new mom. Compliments and encouragement make her feel appreciated and remind her of the amazing job she does.
  • Find small moments to reconnect, even if it’s just watching a show or sharing a cup of tea. This will strengthen your connection and remind her that you are on a journey together.
  • Encourage her to take a few minutes of self-care every day, whether it’s a shower, a walk, or a hobby. This helps her recharge and maintain her sense of self.
  • Read tips for baby care and parenting. Staying informed keeps you actively involved and shows that you’re interested in learning, which increases her confidence in your co-parenting journey.
  • Offer to reassure her that she is not alone. Remind her that you are a team ready to tackle parenting challenges together and that you can lean on each other every step of the way.
