1. In a society that glorifies workaholism, puts private life in second place & makes childcare a woman’s job, the hate #ViratKohli is getting for flying home for the birth of his child is not surprising. It’s 2021 but the ugly memes & tweets betray a 19th century mentality.

2. #Kohli has worked hard to build a reputation & career, that he feels secure in himself to be by his wife’s side as she gives birth to their first child must be applauded and appreciated. We need more ‘macho’ figures stepping up & showing that men & women are equal partners.

3. Family & children are not just a woman’s responsibility & a professional career not just the domain of men. You may disagree & your private life may look otherwise, that’s your choice. If you expect people to respect your private choices then stop commenting on others!
