In an interview with Indian Express, Amrita Arora had spoken about what she and Shakeel Ladak enjoy doing with their sons, Azaan and Rayaan. Amrita had said, “We love watching the boys interact, reading the menu, figuring out their food preferences when we take them out, which we do very often now as they are older. We travel aplenty and the boys are conditioned to zip around as our idea of a vacation is not to lounge around in the hotel room but to go out and explore. Also, their innocence and curiosity is an eye-opener for us, too. Kids teach you so many things as well.”
Revealing an important aspect, she wants her sons to grow up with, Amrita Arora had remarked, “I want them to be humble, have a sense of normalcy in their lives, like everyone else. No haughtiness. They need to be polite with everyone, from the house help to the driver.” What motherhood means to her, Amrita had retorted, “It has been a learning experience so far—an emotionally charged, beautiful, exciting experience that is consuming me, and I am enjoying it. I have learnt to be patient and follow my own instincts. I strongly believe that no book, workshop, video, person can teach you anything about motherhood. You need to make your own mistakes and learn from them, while enjoying and living out the experience.” (Also Read: Neha Kakkar Wishes Her 'Didu', Sonu Kakkar On 41st Birthday, Calls Her The Best Sister In The World)
