The couple opens up about conscious parenting, co-parenting challenges, and creating a safe space for honest conversations
In an era of perfectly curated social media feeds and prescriptive parenting guides, actor Nakuul Mehta and musician Jankee Mehta are choosing a radically different path: raw honesty. Following the birth of their children, Sufi and Rumi, the couple launched The Indian Parent Pod (TIPP) to shatter the illusion of the "perfect parent" and foster a community rooted in vulnerability, conscious unlearning, and shared struggles. In this candid tête-à-tête, the duo opens up about moving past the anxiety of first-time parenting, the intentional effort required to make time for each other amid the chaos of co-parenting, and how fatherhood has redefined Nakuul's perspective on professional success.
You mentioned starting The Indian Parent Pod (TIPP) because you felt the lack of ‘real’ conversations about parenting. Tell us about it.
Jankee: When Sufi was born (in 2021), a lot of the parenting content that we were consuming felt too instructional, prescriptive and performative. Everyone seemed to either have all the answers or at least look like they did.
