Talking about changing the stereotype and taking up the responsibility of bringing up his son, just like his mother does, here is what Ranvir said:

“It’s about changing gender roles. Since Haroon’s mom is usually busier than I am, we came up with this idea. It’s not so much about spending a few hours bonding with my son as it’s about child rearing. So, Haroon has two homes now and half the time he’s at my place and the other half with his mom.”

The ex-couple is pretty sorted about how to handle their son while the other one is working. Talking further about spending sufficient time with Haroon, Ranvir said:

“We mutually agreed to take turns working so we didn’t have to leave him alone. My father is too old and my brothers don’t live here, so we don’t have much family support in Mumbai and I didn’t want him to grow up with the help.”

According to Ranvir, men need to break the stereotype and come out of it. He further added:

“With women stepping out and taking on new roles, the time has come for men to step out of their stereotypes too. I’m more patient and my cooking has improved too. Now, Haroon likes what I cook more than what he gets at Konkona’s. I cook my specialties for him."

Talking about his relationship with Konkona, Ranvir said:

“Things are obviously not hunky dory but we have to be mature about our relationship and make sure it’s not hard on our child. As an adult we can deal with it but he’s still in his formative years."
