In a candid conversation on the We The Yuvaa podcast, Varun Dhawan opened up about experiencing 'dad guilt' as he navigates his responsibilities as a father. He expressed feeling secondary to his wife in parenting, stating, “I want to be first here as well.” Dr. Munia Bhattacharya, a psychologist, elaborated on the emotional struggles many fathers face, noting that societal norms often position mothers as primary caregivers, leading fathers to feel sidelined. This perception can diminish their self-worth and emotional involvement with their children. Dr. Bhattacharya emphasized that modern parenting is evolving, highlighting that emotional presence is more important than perfection. She encouraged fathers to embrace their unique styles of bonding, whether through play or shared activities, rather than comparing themselves to mothers. The key to overcoming 'dad guilt' lies in communication, patience, and consistent efforts to build trust and connection with their children. Ultimately, parenting should be viewed as a partnership rather than a competition.
