Actor Anushka Sharma says there is too much pressure to be a “perfect parent” and she and cricketer-husband Virat Kohli are anything but that.
Sharma shares two children, daughter Vamika (three) and six-month-old son Akaay with Kohli.
The 36-year-old actor said it’s okay for parents to own up to their mistakes in front of children.
“There’s too much pressure to be, like, this perfect parent, and we are not perfect parents. Like, we will complain about things, and then it’s okay to admit it to them (children). Just complain about it. That’s my thing.
“So, they know that it will be all flawed. Imagine, kids having to live up to, like, ‘Oh, my parents are like…’ I feel like owning your mistakes in front of your kids,” Sharma said at a brand promotion event here on Wednesday.
It was the actor-producer’s first media appearance after giving birth to Akaay on February 15 in London.
Sharma said while she is a “chill” parent, she is particular about the routine of the children.
