LAHORE – Kavita Kaushik, an actress, has decided not to have a kid because she does not want the child to struggle in the hustle and bustle of Mumbai. Oh well, to each their own we would say!
In an interview with the Hindustan Times recently, she got candid about how she and her husband, Ronnit Biswas, have chosen not to become parents.

“I don’t want to be unfair to the child. If I have a child in my 40s, by the time my child would be 20, we would’ve touched our old age. I don’t want our child to take care of old parents in his/her 20s.”
“Maybe we are not maternal and paternal as people. We want to make the world a lighter place and don’t want to bring up a child to this overcrowded city and throw him in the struggles of Mumbai.”
Ronnit lost his parents when he was very young and even I, being the only child, had to do a lot of hard work to make a living and support my family. So now, we are enjoying life like kids, travelling and achieving couple goals and more. Sometimes I act like a father to him and he acts like a mother to me. We fulfil the things that we don’t have in each other’s lives, thus, we don’t feel the need to have a child.”
Here is what else they had to say.
“We’ve already adopted our father’s extended family in the village in Rajasthan. We take care of them in the best of our capabilities. We like to do things for others.”
