Tanuj Virwani on embracing fatherhood
Tanuj Virwani got candid about beginning a new phase of his life. The actor spoke about 'creating a conducive environment' for his and Tanya's child, whether it will be a boy or a girl.
"It is so important. There is so much wrong stuff going on in the world right now. Whenever you read the newspaper or turn on the news channels, you hear it everywhere. We keep criticizing 'aajkal ke bacche aise hain' but forget that those who criticize today's generation, forget who raised it," said Tanuj.
The actor further mentioned, "I think, we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard and it begins at home with the way you create a good environment, what kind of parent and eco-system you want your kid to grow up to."
Tanuj Virwani wants to utilize this principle
Continuing this conversation, Tanuj stated that he and Tanya keep having conversations about creating a conducive environment for their child. However, they don't intend to shield their kid in such a way that "it becomes unnatural when they step out in the real world."
He also recalled his father Anil Virwani saying, "The day you fit into my shoes, you become my friend." And it is the same principle that Tanuj wishes to utilize.
"It's the same principle that I am going to utilize... the day my kid grows over a certain age, then you have to begin to be a friend. They need to know that they can come and talk to Dad and vice versa," Tanuj said while signing off.
