In India, many new moms struggle with motherhood as they find themselves alone in the journey of raising the kid.
Our society expects mothers to fulfill major parenting responsibilities on their own with little or no support.
While many of us are still struggling to understand why raising a kid is mainly seen as the responsibility of a woman, we are fortunate that there are very few real men who are shattering this archaic thought process.
And, one such man is Ashutosh Harbola.
Recently, Ashutosh was hailed the “Real Superstar Dad” by the internet when he shared something that he felt was an obvious and ordinary thing to do.
Ashutosh, who is the CEO of a marketing firm in Noida and has garnered a whole lot of appreciation across the social media after a photograph of him taking care of his baby daughter at office surfaced online.Â
Realizing how important was the message, Ashutosh’s colleague Dushyant Singh photographed him as he attended to his daughter Shloka in between work, and shared it online with a touching caption.
“Meet @HarbolaAshutosh, he is my CEO. He is a working dad in true sense. I’ve seen this guy showing his perfection at work while taking care of his daughter at the very same moment. Here sharing a picture to make you smile,” Dushyant’s caption of the post read.

The picture has definitely made Internet smile. What about you?
As many of us are struggling hard to meet the unrealistic expectations set by society for being a mother, we feel its a high time that society reconsiders those norms.
