They are very sensitive. It's a very delicate⦠They are trying to balance their affection between their parents, so it's a very tricky situation for them."
Talking about single parenting, Suchitra shared, "Single parenting is very tough. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and imagine, I was doing it alone. It takes up a lot of your time and energy. My head was filled with worry and concern all the time."
