Recently, TV actors Karanvir Bohra and his wife Teejay Sidhu welcomed their baby girl in December last year. The couple, who already are proud parents to four-year-old twin daughters Vienna and Raya Bella, was on cloud nine when they welcomed their third angel ‘Gia Vanessa Snow’.

Recently, mother, Teejay also penned a note. In her beautiful post, she shared a hard-hitting note on why people are still obsessed with having a boy child; why people think the family is complete only when a boy is born.
Sharing a family picture, the mommy wrote:
“Feb 15th was #FamilyDay and of course, my post is late, as usual! I wanted to share something.
Recently, someone I know had a baby boy. (They already had a girl.) Someone else I know commented, ‘Congrats, NOW your family is complete!’
That left me a little disappointed. Is a family only ‘complete’ when you have a boy? Suppose that person had another girl. Would that mean their family was ‘incomplete?’ Even having just one child is such a #blessing! How many you have after that, or what gender, shouldn’t determine your ‘completeness.’
I’m sure the comment was not meant to be offensive. (Maybe they meant now there was one of each? In that case, the intention could’ve been expressed more clearly.) I just feel as a younger generation, we need to be more responsible with the thoughts/ideas we put out there. Let’s teach others to celebrate #family. For me, the joy that #family brings me is what completes me.
This note made us wonder, what is a complete family?
Isn’t a couple with no kid a complete family?
Isn’t a couple with a single girl child a complete family?
Isn’t a single mom with her kids a complete family?
Isn’t a father raising his kids on his own a complete family?
This note also made many netizens come forward to express their views:
It’s sad the people still discriminate between a girl and a boy child. Teejay rightly said that even though their intentions weren’t to offend someone, people need to convey their thoughts clearly.
At IFORHER, we believe any family is complete if it has an ample amount of happiness, kindness, love, and care for each other!
Do let us know what you think!
