Karan lauds Netflix show Adolescence

Karan shared a poster on the topic of Adolescence and reflected on the experience of parenthood. "Being a parent... I have always understood that nurturing a child is both a profound blessing and a significant challenge. No book or podcast can truly equip you to become the best version of yourself as a parent. The first step is to strive to be the best version of YOURSELF—the absolute best. Your words, the manner in which you express them, your emotions and their expression, your habits, behaviors, beliefs, and even your political views—all of these will ultimately influence your child. They are reflections of your essence. While you may not always recognize this connection, they will undoubtedly mirror your actions and values."

Karan expresses gratitude to Adolescence

The exploration of perceived masculinity, the effects of bullying, and the neglect of children's behaviors and habits are central themes in this four-episode mini-series, which serves as an invaluable resource for parents. As a filmmaker, I was deeply moved by the technical brilliance of the four innovative long takes, yet as a parent, I found them profoundly challenging. Raising twins has heightened my appreciation for this show, which has significantly enhanced my awareness and sense of responsibility. This series transcends mere entertainment; it offers enduring lessons. I extend my gratitude to the creators of #adolescence and to Netflix for this impactful work.
