Imran Khan recently opened up about his struggles as a single dad in a recent conversation with Parineeti Chopra on her show, Mom Talks. The actor who shares custody of his daughter with his ex-wife, Avantika, revealed that she stays with him for 3-4 days a week. However, he has his own set of struggles, as many mothers hesitate to send their kids to a single man’s house.
Imran Khan reflects on how moms hesitate to send their daughters to a single man’s house
During the conversation, Imraan reflected on how difficult it is to arrange playdates for his daughter with her friends. He revealed that whenever he called his daughter’s friend’s mom to set up a playdate, they would always give an excuse. Which eventually led him to realise that mothers might not actually be comfortable with sending their daughters to a single man’s house. He was quoted as saying:
“I would try to make plans. And Imara would ask me, ‘Can you ask this friend if they can come over to play?’ So I would find the number and message one mom: ‘Can so-and-so come over to play?’ And they would say, ‘Sorry, not today.’ Next week again: ‘Hi, can we do it?’, they are like, ‘No, not today.’ So I started to notice that some moms were maybe not so comfortable sending their child, particularly if it’s a girl, to a house where a single man is living.”
