She stated, "Our beating heart has turned one year old today! Happy birthday, darling Raabu. You are the answer to all my prayers, and I promise to make you feel loved and safe every day that I live.

The older twins grew up in the blink of an eye but baby number 4 ensured that joy again. We went through immense heartache with one baby in NICU and funeral arrangements for his twin whom we lost to a congenital heart problem, but we survived on hope and amazing care of NICU nurses and NICU Doctors in #dubai who worked tirelessly with us to make sure @arthurjhaag comes back home with us.” “While many preterm babies still carry a huge vulnerability to develop medical challenges or life threatening circumstances, many do grow up to become completely healthy individuals, with some even becoming notable public figures such as Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein and of course our own Arthur Jaitly Haag,” shared Celina. She went on to say, “Premature birth is a very serious health problem, but there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel too. While nothing can prepare parents for how it feels to have a baby in neonatal care. It can be a huge support to know other families have been where they are now.” “To the parents currently in the NICU, and I can assure you that things do get better and that the future is so exciting. Lots of Kangaroo care, breast milk, putting your faith in your doctors and love can work miracles. Thank you Universe for not leaving our arms empty....,” she concluded.

Kareena Kapoor's parenting advice

Kareena shares inspirational parenting advice: ‘Babies cry, kids talk back'

Kareena Kapoor is the leading lady of Bollywood, and now she also has a film festival to her name. Kapoor, who is an amazing actress, is also a doting mom of two, Jeh and Taimur Ali Khan. Taimur and Jeh are Kareena's pieces of heart, and she is super concerned about how she raises her little ones. Today, Kareena took to her Instagram and shared a message that is very important parenting advice for every new mom or dad. Kareena Kapoor’s parenting advice Kareena, the mother of two, took to her Instagram and shared a quote that reads, "Babies cry. Toddlers have tantrums. Kids talk back. Teenagers test boundaries. None of this means you are failing." The actress wrote, "Good morning, read that again," along with her quote. It is Jab We Met over Omkara for Kareena's kids Recently, Kareena Kapoor attended a press conference to launch a film festival dedicated to her. At the film festival, the actress revealed that her sons are yet to understand her profession and haven’t watched any of her films. "Maybe I should get them to watch something at the festival. I think if I ask, everyone’s going to say ‘Jab We Met.’ ‘Omkara’ would be a bit shocking for them with their father in it. So, yeah, I think we can start with ‘Jab We Met,’" Kareena said. Taimur asks, 'Am I famous?' Talking about Taimur’s understanding of her stardom, Kareena said he is aware that he is famous among the paparazzi, but he’s not sure why. "With paparazzi all around, he knows that he’s famous. But he keeps asking, ‘Am I famous?’ I’m like, ‘No, you’re not famous. I’m famous. You haven’t done anything.’ So he’s like, ‘Maybe one day I’ll do it.’ Right now, he doesn’t have films on his mind. It’s only football. So I hope he will watch some of my films. I’m sure someday," she said. Kareena Kapoor has also written a book describing her pregnancy experience named "Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Pregnancy Bible." Later, the use of the word "Bible" in her book’s title got her into legal trouble.
