After welcoming their baby girl into the world, new parents Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor must be busy taking care of the baby post-delivery. It’s indeed necessary which is why Ranbir also decided to take paternity leave.

Apart from parenting the newborn and sharing equal responsibilities with Alia, new daddy Ranbir is also dedicated to himself and goes to the gym every day despite the arrival of the baby.
Taking to Instagram, Ranbir’s trainer Drew Neal shared a picture with Ranbir and lauded him for not skipping any gym session even though he has the ‘best excuse’ not to hit the gym.

Kudos to Ranbir but what’s the big deal with him going to the gym? Of course, he can. He didn’t go through the uncomfortable nine months of pregnancy and then deliver a baby at the hospital.
If Alia would have done that, it would have been something. But then again she would have been judged and called out for leaving her little baby home.
Moreover, several imminent media houses also hyped this information.

You see how easy it is for men in our society to be praised by others while women are criticized for every move they make no matter how painful or difficult it is.
Well, people online didn’t get the point of hyping the fact that Ranbir didn’t skip going to the gym even after his daughter’s birth. This is how they reacted:
Proud of Men who deliver a baby from their body and still manage to go to the gym everyday. 👏 pic.twitter.com/TgMQbY9iGr

Idk if its sarcasm or what but the amount of people being okay with this is concerning
Your wife went through a massive physical trauma to bring YOUR child into this world and instead of being with her and taking care of her mf choose going to gym🙄 https://t.co/L4QrUHMMzT— tara (@its_zaalima) November 17, 2022
what most of you don’t get is that it’s not about skipping the gym or giving birth it’s the fact that his child is literally a day new and he isn’t in love with the child to stay back and spend time w her… speaks volumes about the degree of his involvement in her future life… https://t.co/6aFf8fcaRA

My friend has her 2nd baby in 2nd wave, her whole family was infected. She had to cook n take care of her kids all by herself. That’s heroic.
These celebrities dump their kids on nannies whether they work or not. But get applauded as if they made some out of world sacrifice.— Sunita ସୁନିତା ಸುನೀತಾ सुनीता 🇮🇳 (@sunita1712) November 17, 2022

Especially when they have 10 people taking care of the child every minute. Hard life.

Why are the standards so low for men while women have to climb mountains to be able to get equal respect?
