I felt we should keep our children away from public eye
Actor and television host Rannvijay Singha feels blessed to be a parent of two kids. He welcomed his daughter Kainaat in 2017 and son Jahaanvir in 2021. And like many celebrities, he too initially did not reveal his children’s faces.
The 39-year-old tells us the motive behind this move. “What happens during the early stages is that you [as parents] are very protective of your child. My wife and I felt that we should keep our child away from public eye. Baccha young hai, nazar na lag jaye,” he says.
Recalling the time when he chose to hide his son’s face in public, he says, “Uss time Covid bhi chal raha tha. You just worry.” Some other celebrities, including actors Anushka Sharma, Preity G Zinta and Rani Mukerji were also wary of revealing the faces of their children on social media.
Singha asserts, “Over a period of time, your kid is good
It is not a oneday decision because you [as parents] are protective of your kids. RANNVIJAY SINGHA,
and healthy. All vaccinations have been done. Then, you [eventually] become fine being in the public eye. So, it is a gradual process and not a oneday decision, because you [as parents] are very protective of your kids.”
Nowadays, priorities have certainly changed for the Mismatched actor. He tells us that he wants to spend as much as time possible with his children.
The television host also feels that social media will help him go down the memory lane, when his children are all grown up. He says, “We keep changing our phones, our hard drives and our parents did the same with VHS and photo albums.”
The actor also speaks about the reason behind creating a social media account for his daughter. “Whenever she goes on social media, she can check a little bit of her growing-up years. It is like a diary of sorts,” he says.
