Rahul Sharma on Asin raising their daughter

While speaking with MyGov India, Rahul spoke about Asin's role as a mother and shared that their daughter has already developed an impressive interest in languages. He said, “We also have a beautiful daughter. She is just seven years old now, but can already understand and speak about 12 languages, including Korean, Japanese, Thai, and Chinese. I am finding it difficult to speak even two languages. We are stuck with English and Hindi.”

Rahul Sharma also shared that Arin's interest in languages also likely developed because they do not have a television at home and have not given their daughter any screen time so far. He said, “We have not given Arin any screens thus far — no TVs or mobile phones. We only have books at home. We probably have more books at home than Arin has at her school. She is in Class 2 right now, but we already have books for Classes 8 and 9 at home. I quip once in a while, saying, ‘Let her appear for the Class 10 board exam as well. What difference does it make?’ It’s all Asin’s contribution to us."
