<h2>Challenges of Parenthood</h2>

<b>How did you face tough times together, especially during high-pressure series?</b><br/>
<b>Puja:</b> During difficult phases or public scrutiny, we leaned on each other. I focused on being a calming presence, ensuring Cheteshwar had the space he needed. His resilience inspired me to remain steadfast, ride the ups and downs, and trust that better days would come.
