In an interview with Elle Magazine, Nakuul Mehta had spoken about their decision of embracing parenthood amidst a pandemic. He had said, "Our decision of starting a family was, in a way actualised by nature, giving us this time to slow down and think about our dreams together as partners. As hard as it is to not look back at 2020 with an incredible amount of sadness, we feel together we have been able to garner maximum value out of what was handed to us, and that feels good." Jankee had revealed one of the happiest parts of the journey, which was feeling the first flutter of her baby moving inside her. She had remarked, "Spending hours by myself staring at my tummy and experiencing the kicks, flutters, movements of the little one inside of me."
In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Nakuul Mehta had revealed why the past year was a phenomenal one with his wife, Jankee Parekh Mehta. He had said, “Never before did Jankee and I have this kind of time with each other in all our years of knowing each other. I felt like the break, which happened due to pandemic firmed up our plans of now wanting to start a family. Till now, we were both busy with our careers. The hustle was so much that we kept pushing it and thinking we will do it one day. This slowdown made us think how do we see ourselves 10 years from now? So, in that respect, it was planned. More than anything else, it brings in a sense of peace, which is hard to describe, and Jankee hasn’t even delivered yet. It is combination of the world slowing down and also that we have created a human together.”
Speaking on how he had prepared for fatherhood and how the couple has planned to raise their child, Nakuul Mehta had stated, “I have been reading up a lot, including books on fatherhood and being an equal partner on choices in parenthood. We have read a book on French parenting, which says treat the child like a human being while Indian parenting is so protective of their kin that they don’t let them makes mistakes, and always gets attention from family.” Hoping for a fruitful 2021, Nakuul had concluded, “Last year taught us that it is okay to take it easy and not constantly be on the run, so taking this time off till March is easier. It is tough to know what kind of parents we would be but we are trying to be as relaxed as possible. I am content as it has been a good 2020 and now a fruitful 2021.” (Also Read: Taimur And Inaaya's Poolside Photo In Robes Is A Delight, Their Daddies In The Back Are Photobombing)
