00:00I'm originally from Pune, born in Kuwait raised in Pune and I came to Dubai 20
00:06years ago. You have to literally multitask so right now I was on the
00:11phone with a bottle that I held with my chin trying to do it at the same time.
00:16I've started going to work this week we only just came back and I will get
00:22daycare. I'm looking at daycare I'm still working out the options of having a
00:26nanny at home or having daycare for a few hours. So far I haven't found
00:30somebody to settle with and and get married to and then go through the
00:36conventional route but I knew that there were celebrities who did it, who did.
00:42There were Ricky Martin, Cristiano Ronaldo has children there's Karan Johar
00:49there's Tushar Kapoor and his sister Ekta Kapoor there was there are several
00:55celebrities who all already are having children without having all of this so
01:00that was actually my inspiration I thought you know what I want that I
01:03want to be a parent. I'm 37 now you know I learned baby this is another thing
01:09about babies you learn very quickly you learn after after the first two nights
01:14you're an expert in diapers and feeding because you have to do it so many times
01:19that you can do it eyes closed and you know you'll observe him and feed him and
01:28you know so you know when they're fussy you know when he wants to be cuddled it
01:31is a twelfth attempt for me in so you know IVF when I use IVF so IVF is
01:38doesn't work all the time over two years over over two years all the time it's
01:48indescribable because first of all there's a lot of shock because you spend
01:52the you know during the labor you're I didn't know if he was a boy or a girl
01:57and you didn't know if it's healthy if it's you know so when when the baby's
02:02born yes you're really excited but you also are quite scared thinking what if
02:07things go wrong and and and when I held him it was surreal I have a photo of
02:12that as well and it's just one of the weirdest because he looked like me he
02:16looks exactly like me and it's so weird it's it's I think one of the nicest
02:21feelings holding your child so do you know being a parent being a single
02:25parent is not illegal so it's just that I'm I'm I'm his biological father
