Sidharth Malhotra on raising a son 

When Lilly asks Sidharth about what it takes to raise a son since it predominantly comes from fathers, he states, "The best way in my book, though it is a very difficult way, is to definitely get your boys in check growing up. That would be my intent whenever in life that point would come; be it a girl or a boy, I think values, ethics, and being a kinder human being. I was reading recently and it says that being a male is by birth, but being a man is by choice."

When she further asks him what it means to be a man, the Yodha actor adds, "Exactly, it is that you start taking responsibility for your own actions. You start being more accountable and sensitive towards what you are saying, how you are dealing with your family members, your partners, and that's what I wish and hope that as a society and as known people we can influence people in a correct way."

"Parents can be conscious as to what are they really feeding their kids, in terms of culture, in terms of being examples; do they understand the value of being in society, having people and relationships,” says Sidharth. 

Sidharth and Kiara announced their pregnancy through a heartfelt Instagram post, sharing an adorable picture holding a pair of baby socks. "The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon," the caption read.
