Shilpa Shetty gives her views on the viral video of a child crying

Few days ago, Virat Kohli had posted a video of a child crying and begging in front of her mother to teach her 1, 2, 3, 4… with love and not by shouting at her. Well, later we came to know that the child was singer Toshi Sabri’s niece. He even defended the video by stating that the child is very stubborn and his sister had shot the video to show it to her husband. Many celebs have given their views on the same and recently, even Shilpa Shetty spoke about it.

The actress recently at an event, she stated, “I saw the video and I was very pained to see it as a mother. But then only a mother can understand what is best for her child. No one else has the right to say how a mother should bring up or raise her child.”

She later stated that as a mother, she would never use such a way for her son. The actress said, “It is not really my thing to say to whether what happened with that child was good or bad. As a parent, I will not do that to my child.” (Also Read: Shilpa Shetty Kundra learns archery, gives away a great piece of philosophy too)

While talking to HT, Toshi said “Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan don’t know about us. Hamare bachche ke bare mein humein pata hai naah ki hamara bacha kaisa hai! Uska nature hai waisa… Agle hi pal woh khelne chali jaati hai. Agar aap usko chod do toh woh kahengi main mazzak kar rahi thi. Uske nature ki wajah se chod denge toh woh padhai bhi nahi kar paayengi. (We know about our child better. Haya’s nature is such that after being scolded, the next minute she runs off to play. But, because of her nature if we don’t push her, she won’t study.)”

“Ek maa ki mamta hai, judgment nahi kar sakte hain. Jisne usko 9 months kokh mein rakha hai. Ab agar bachche zidd karenge toh unko padana likhana chod dein kya? Bachon ko paalna asaan nahi hota. (One can’t judge a mother’s love for the child by seeing a short video. If children throw tantrums, then should we stop teaching them? It’s not easy to raise children). I’m married and have a son. I know how difficult it is to raise a child. Parents have to do double duty by managing both — the children and the household at the same time,” he added.
