Naitik anxious about being a father

Naitik reveals, "After a recent visit to my friend's place, I am thinking about how our lives will be altered once the baby is born. I was taken aback to see the changes in my friend's life after the birth of his son, Viraj. His life revolved around the boy and there was a huge transformation in him. He was no longer the carefree guy who would spend time with us. Even when he was talking to me, his attention was on Viraj. I began wondering how my life would change post our baby. Will I be able to do as I please or will my life and schedule too, revolve around the baby? I noticed that my friend also had tiffs with his wife over trivial issues. I hope that doesn't happen with Akshara and me."

Does he plan to confide his fears in Akshara? "I guess these worries and anxieties are on a subconscious level not really on the fore yet. I am having mixed emotions. I am happy to be a father, looking forward to it actually, but I do question the future as well. I am trying to accept that change is inevitable, while resisting it. I know it is a contradiction but I can't help feeling so. I know being a father will be wonderful and I worry about Akshara's health too."

How does Naitik think Akshara might react to his worries? "Well, knowing Akshara, she will be my strength. I guess we will handle it together," smiles Natik.
