A resurfaced clip from Kareena Kapoor Khan’s talk show, What Women Want, has sparked conversations about fatherhood in Bollywood. In the interview, Kareena revealed that Ranbir Kapoor stayed in the hospital for an entire week after Raha’s birth, ensuring he was by Alia’s side through it all.

“I was very good like I was with her. You know, I had taken a sabbatical from work for two to three months prior to the delivery. You know, I stayed in the hospital for a week with her,” Ranbir shared.

Kareena, seemingly impressed, compared Ranbir’s dedication to her own husband, Saif Ali Khan. “That means you’re such a lovely husband. I mean, like look at it. Saif didn’t stay one night with me at the hospital,” she remarked.

While the lighthearted conversation may have been in jest, it has reignited discussions on the evolving role of fathers in parenting. Fans have praised Ranbir’s commitment to fatherhood, while some wondered if generational and personal differences played a role in Saif’s approach.
