Soha Ali Khan recently spoke about her parenting style, which has caught the attention of many. In a time where many parents hire nannies to manage daily childcare, Soha said that she does not like to outsource parenting. She believes that if she doesn’t do certain things for her daughter, then those things simply won’t happen the way she wants.
Soha explained that when it comes to raising her daughter, Inaaya, she likes to be fully involved. She said that she cannot always depend on her husband, actor Kunal Kemmu, for many parenting tasks. So she takes charge herself.
She said, “If I don’t do it, it won’t happen.”
This means she feels that some parts of parenting require her attention. She does not want to pass those duties to nannies or helpers.
The Different Approach
Many parents today are busy with work or other commitments. Because of this, help from nannies or family members is common and sometimes necessary. There is nothing wrong with that.
But Soha’s approach is different. She chooses to personally do most of the parenting work, even though she is also a working mother. She believes emotional involvement cannot be outsourced.
She wants to be there - truly involved. Whether it's school drop-offs, bedtime stories, playtime, or emotional conversations, she tries to stay connected.
She openly says that some responsibilities cannot be left to others. She takes ownership of being the primary parent. She believes emotional bonding cannot be hired or delegated.

What About Kunal Kemmu?
Soha also mentioned that sometimes Kunal is busy or may not handle certain tasks the way she does. Instead of complaining or waiting, she simply steps up and does it.
Not because she thinks she is better. But because she cares and wants things done with intention.
This is a common situation in many homes. One parent becomes more hands-on while the other supports when possible.
The Pressure on Mothers Today
Mothers today are expected to do everything. Have a career, take care of the house and children. And yet look calm, organised, and perfect
This pressure can sometimes be overwhelming.
Soha openly said “It’s not always easy, but I still do it myself,” which gives strength to many mothers who feel the same way but don’t say it aloud.
Soha Ali Khan’s parenting style reminds us that raising a child is not just a duty; it is a relationship.
In the end, children remember:
- Who laughed with them
- Who listened to them
- Who held their hand
- Who made time for them
And Soha has chosen to be that person for her daughter.
Be the first to support
Be the first to share
