Rahul Dev Speaks On The Struggles Of A Single Dad While Raising A Child

To
raise
a
child,
the
contribution
of
both
mother
and
father
is
essential.
However,
in
many
families,
a
child
is
bereft
of
one
parent
and
is
raised
by
a
single
one.
While
everyone
is
aware
of
the
sacrifices
made
by
a
single
mother
to
raise
her
kid,
very
few
talk
about
the
hardships
a
single
father
faces
while
doing
the
same.
Voicing
those
issues
now,
is
Rahul
Dev.

In
an
interview
with
Connect
FM
Canada,
Rahul
talks
about
the
struggles
of
being
a
single
parent
after
his
wife
Rina
died
due
to
cancer
in
2009.
He
said
that
single
parenting
is
a
difficult
task
as
women
have
a
big
hand
in
raising
children.
As
children
grow
inside
them,
they
understand
them
better
and
have
more
patience
to
deal
with
them.
He
said,
“I
tried
a
lot,
but
there
were
times
when
I
would
lose
my
cool,
my
frame
of
mind.
I
had
to
try
to
be
both
mom
and
dad.”

Rahul
talked
about
times
when
he
visited
his
son’s
school
for
parent-teacher
meetings
and
felt
a
sense
of
deep
insecurity
when
he
saw
only
mothers
of
other
kids
accompanying
them.
He
said
that
single
parenting
looks
only
easy
in
films
and
wishes
that
nobody
goes
through
what
he
went
through.

Dev
also
talked
about
his
relationship
with
actress-model
Mugdha
Godse
in
the
interview.
Commenting
on
it,
he
said
that
she
belongs
to
‘another
generation’
as
she
is
14
years
younger
than
him.
He
revealed
to
have
doubts
about
the
relationship
sometimes,
wondering
if
it
is
‘unfair’.
However,
he
also
remarked
on
the
fact
about
how
it
isn’t
easy
to
start
all
over
again
after
being
a
widower.

Rahul
was
last
seen
in
the
Tamil
film
The
Legend.
