Aww-dorable: Riteish Deshmukh says Riaan dotes on Rahyl
Riteish Deshmukh revealed that his elder son Riaan is very protective of his baby brother.
Doting father Riteish Deshmukh, who often shares oh-so-cute pictures of his sons Rahyl and Riaan on social media, revealed that Riaan is very protective of his younger brother.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, the Kyaa Kool Hai Hum actor spoke about the bonding between his sons. "Riaan absolutely dotes on him (Rahyl). It is good to see that kind of bonding. Sometimes, when I look at them, it makes me wonder if I was like that as a kid?"
Riteish said that it was easier being a father the second time around, but added that Genelia often has to fill in for him. "You need to set aside a certain number of hours for family. I have blocked some Sundays but invariably, some days I am expected to work. But I have decided to make more time for family because, at the end of the day, I am the one who is losing out. With kids around, you just learn new things every day. Parenting changes every generation. I don't know if fathers then were as involved as fathers today. But right now, Genelia is the mother and father, both."
Riteish could not stop gushing about his wife and said that apart from being a fabulous mother, she is also his stylist. "She knows fashion much better. She also knows my preferences, what I like to wear in terms of fabrics, accessories, everything. So her opinion matters the most," he said.
