Key Points
- She used to bandage her own wounds without disturbing parents
- She once had a major wound in Mumbai but didn't tell her parents
- Her parents made her emotionally and mentally strong
Mumbai, May 13. Television superstar Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya recently recalled one of the most valuable lessons her parents gave her while growing up.
The actress highlighted how they taught her to learn to deal with any injury or pain independently instead of running to them for every little injury.
In her latest YouTube vlog, Divyanka shared how her father taught her first aid from a very young age, a lesson that helped shape her into a strong, self-reliant individual.
Opening up about her childhood, Divyanka said, “Whenever I got hurt, my parents didn’t make it look like a big issue. In fact, my father taught me first aid in my childhood. I used to take care of my wounds, bandage myself, and everything. To the extent that once or twice I had a major wound in Mumbai… I never even told my parents about it.”
How Divyanka's Father Taught Her First Aid
She further revealed how those early lessons made her emotionally and mentally strong. “I did the dressing without telling my parents because I was like, why bother people when I can handle it? They made me independent so that I can do anything easily and I won’t cry.”
Divyanka’s mother, Neelam Tripathi, who was also a part of the vlog, shared that she hopes to raise her future grandchild with the same values and resilience they instilled in Divyanka. She said, “You will become strong on your own. We have never kept Divyanka flower-like. I think if you want to make your child strong, you should start from the first day.”
Neelam further explained her approach to raising her grandchild, and added, “We will let him or her play in the sand, we will make him swim in water. To become strong, you should be able to solve all your problems. And the second thing is, you should not do everything emotionally. If the child is falling or stumbling? Let him. He will become normal on his own.”
Lessons in Independence from Childhood
For the uninitiated, Divyanka is all set to become a mother. The actress along with her husband Vivek Dahiya had announced the good news in March, on the occassion of Gudi Padwa, through a joint post on social media.
