Parwarish episodes this week highlighted the need for us to grow as parents, alongside our children. Only then can we truly battle parenting challenges and find a way forward as a family.
Seeking balance and harmony in our relationships is a constant challenge, and perhaps, if we heed the messages in Parwarish, the life lessons it teaches us will bring us one step closer.
Parwarish, this week, got us thinking that…
Life is… realising that all a daughter needs is her father standing unwavering behind her.
“Usko itna protect karta ke jab bhi zindagi mein koi mushkil face hoti, uskay zehen mein ek hi thought aati; apne baap se ja kar puchungi, uskay pass is maslay ka hal hoga, woh mera dost hai.”
Life is… realising that you can talk to someone younger than you and ask for their advice?
“Yeh Sameer kay bajaye Amal kay saath hota tou kya kartay?”.
Life is… realising that one-sided love and heartbreak are part of growing up and you WILL find the one written down for you.
Life is… realising that sometimes you need to take a stand against matriarchal figures, making them realise that they are wrong.
“Kyunke Jahangir ne kiya hai to you are making excuses, agar mein ne kiya hota to aap ek minute na lagatin mujhe blame karne mein.”
Life is… realising that being honest with your daughters rather than trying to manipulate them into controlling their actions is what will save them and your relationship with them.
“Behter hai usko sub kuch sach bata do, phir dekho woh kya kehti hai. Iss tarah zor zabardasti karne se bachiyan baaghi ho jati hain”.
Life is… realising that a friend/cousin like Sameer in life is a big blessing.
Life is… realising that children have also become mature now and sometimes you need to give them the space.
“Main dad se bohat pyar karti hun aur woh bhi mujh se, bus kuch shikayetein hain but I am letting the wound heal, aap fiker na karain…”.
Life is… realising that it’s okay to admit you were wrong as a parent and learn from it.
“Waleed meri ghalati tha, bohat bari…”
“Bas yun samajh lo us ghalati ko sudharney ki koshish kar raha hun”.
Life is… realising that Parwarish will forever remain a drama that can entertain, educate and is perfect for a weekend binge-watch.
Watching Parwarish this week made it clear that parenting isn’t a one-way street. It’s not just about teaching our kids, it’s about learning and unlearning things ourselves, too. It nudges us to pause, reflect, and maybe rethink how we show up as parents. There are no perfect answers, but if we’re willing to grow alongside our children, we might just find a little more clarity, connection, and calm in the chaos.
