Even cricketers took to social media platforms and condemned this act; Virat Kohli shared this video and following him, even Shikhar Dhawan and Yuvraj Singh lashed out on Instagram. However, the reality behind the video seems to be something else.
The 3 year old girl in the video is Haya, the niece of renowned singers Toshi and Sharib Sabri. They have finally broken silence on this video and said that people have no right to judge her mom based on that 1 minute clip.
According to reports, Toshi had said that this video was made for WhatsApp group of their family. Talking about cricketers giving their opinions, Toshi said,
“Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan don’t know about us. Hamare bachche ke bare mein humein pata hai naah ki hamara bacha kaisa hai! Uska nature hai waisa… Agle hi pal woh khelne chali jaati hai. Agar aap usko chod do toh woh kahengi main mazzak kar rahi thi. Uske nature ki wajah se chod denge toh woh padai bhi nahi kar paayengi. (We know about our child better. Haya’s nature is such that after being scolded, the next minute she runs off to play. But, because of her nature if we don’t push her, she won’t study.)”
Moreover, they are surprised to see how the video has gone viral in no time. Toshi said that the video was made by Haya’s mom so that she could show it to her husband and brother how stubborn she has become.
Toshi stressed on the importance of learning and said that sometimes it’s fine to ignore the tantrums of the child, especially when it comes to education.
Toshi further adds,
“Woh jo rona hota hain, woh us moment ke liye tha taaki uski maa use padaaye na aur khelne de. Chota bachcha hai 2.5-3 saal ka. (All the crying was for that moment so that her mother doesn’t make her study and let her play. Haya is just about 3 years old). It’s not a big issue. Har ghar mein bachon ki alag zidd hoti hai, alag-alag tareeke ke bachche hote hain. [Ye] bachchi bahut zyada ziddi hai [lekin] humari laadli hai. (In every house there are different kind of children. Ours is a very stubborn child but is extremely dear to us)”
To conclude, Toshi adds that no one should jump to conclusions just by watching a clip. He says ,
“Ek maa ki mamta hai, judgment nahi kar sakte hain. Jisne usko 9 months kokh mein rakha hai. Ab agar bachche zidd karenge toh unko padana likhana chod dein kya? Bachon ko paalna asaan nahi hota. (One can’t judge a mother’s love for the child by seeing a short video. If children throw tantrums, then should we stop teaching them? It’s not easy to raise children). I’m married and have a son. I know how difficult it is to raise a child. Parents have to do double duty by managing both — the children and the household at the same time”
Toshi is actually right; every family knows how their kids are and so, no one has the right to judge this way.
