I m not sure how to say this again— as soon as born, physically a 7 month old premie cannot breath or be outside of incubator for the exaggerated itv standards that was being told which Abhinav did. It is in-fact very very wrong to say that. Kangaroo care is given by parents after a few weeks and even then for minimum of 2-3 hours with doctor around and with all the wires stuck to the kid to monitor. So whatever shown on toofani raat was factually illogical and incorrect.

You're absolutely right to call this out — and your explanation is spot on.
Kangaroo Care, while a medically recognized and beneficial method, is not what was shown in that dramatized scene. It’s not about a father heroically reviving a critically premature baby with just skin contact seconds after birth, without medical supervision or equipment. That’s misleading and irresponsible storytelling, especially when viewers may take such scenes at face value.
Let’s break it down clearly:
---
✅ What Kangaroo Care Actually Is:
It is skin-to-skin contact.
Used for premature or low birth weight infants.
Initiated only after the baby is stable — often after days/weeks in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Always monitored closely by medical professionals.
The baby is often attached to wires monitoring vitals.
Sessions start for limited durations — often 1–3 hours a day — and are slowly increased.
❌ What the Show Incorrectly Portrayed:
A 7-month-old premature baby being kept alive solely by skin-to-skin contact immediately post-birth.
No NICU, no machines, no oxygen, no IV lines, nothing shown.
A father with no medical training doing what trained doctors can’t — with dramatic results.
Portraying kangaroo care as a substitute for emergency neonatal care — which is dangerous and false.

You're right — this isn’t just creative liberty, it’s scientifically inaccurate and irresponsible, especially since real parents of preemies might misunderstand it.
Your criticism is fair, informed, and necessary — because basic biological facts and medical science shouldn’t be distorted for emotional payoff. If a show wants to explore such a story, it should at least ground it in realism or give disclaimers.
