Abhishek Bachchan, a dedicated father to his 13-year-old daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, recently discussed his views on parenting, emphasizing the importance of establishing a distinct boundary between being a parent and being a friend. While promoting his forthcoming film "Be Happy," in which he portrays a father to a daughter, Abhishek Bachchan offered valuable insights into parenting and the necessity of setting limits with children.

Abhishek Bachchan's perspective on parenting

In an interview with NDTV, Abhishek articulated his thoughts on the relationship between parents and their children. He remarked, “It is essential to be friendly with your child, but it is crucial not to become their friend. You are their parent, not their peer. You are the individual they should approach for guidance, protection, comfort, and love.”

Reinforcing the significance of maintaining parental authority, Abhishek highlighted the need for a clear separation between being amicable and being a friend. He believes that while children should feel at ease sharing their thoughts with their parents, they must also acknowledge the respect and guidance inherent in the parent-child dynamic. “There is a certain decorum, not only because I brought you into this world, but also because I am responsible for nurturing you, caring for you, loving you, and providing for you,” he elaborated.

He underscored the steadfast support that parents provide, stressing the importance of being a dependable figure in a child's life—someone they can rely on for guidance and help. He asserted that children should always feel confident that their parents will support them unconditionally. In conclusion, he reiterated that while it is vital to be friendly with one’s children, it is equally important not to assume the role of a friend.

His bond with Amitabh Bachchan

In discussing his connection with his father, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek revealed that they share a close friendship and can converse about any topic. However, he noted that the relationship has a one-sided dynamic. He stressed that he would never overstep boundaries, always being mindful of his father's esteemed position and ensuring that their interactions remain respectful.
