They help us to walk, teach us how to talk, sit, dance and swim, parents are always a guiding force in their children's lives. Before taking any step in our day to day life, we always rush to our parents for their advice. The bond that children share with their parents is unexplainable and go beyond our imagination. The life of a couple gets complete when they hold their tiny tot in their arms and cry some happy tears and announce the arrival at the top of their voice. Their life gets filled with excitement and thrill at the same time and they get prepared for nurturing their child with the best of their capabilities.
From discussing some personal issues to taking help into some professional work, for a child, his/her parents are always their first teacher, mentor and guide. They will guide their child on every step and will protect him/her from every possible situation. The bond between a parent and a child is the purest and can’t be expressed in words. Producer and director, Ekta Kapoor also shares such bond with her parents, Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor. Jeetendra and Shobha are considered to be an epitome of love and togetherness and give some major couple goals to all the married couples out there.
