It
is
our
family
that
nurtures
and
prepares
us
to
face
the
world.
But
in
today's
fast
paced
lifestyle
we
often
have
less
time
to
spend
with
our
loved
ones
and
take
them
for
granted.
So
when
this
pandemic
suddenly
pulled
the
strings
forcing
the
world
to
come
to
a
halt,
the
one
thing
that
many
of
us
realised
is
the
importance
of
staying
close
to
our
family.
This
International
Day
of
Families
(May
15),
celebrities
tell
us
how
important
it
is
for
a
child
to
grow
with
a
family
around
and
how
the
earlier
joint
family
set-up
was
way
healthier
than
today's
nuclear
families.
Read
on.
Delnaaz
Irani:
Family
is
everything
for
me.
I
have
been
fortunate
to
have
my
family
in
Mumbai
itself.
Given
that
our
profession
demands
us
to
stay
in
the
city
I
am
thankful
to
be
born
and
raised
here.
Many
people
working
in
our
industry
are
not
from
the
city.
They
come
here
and
struggle.
This
happens
in
case
of
other
professions
also.
Family
is
a
very
integral
part
of
life.
In
today's
time
we
do
understand
that
family
and
a
good
set
of
friends
are
not
just
important
but
is
all
that
you
need.
Family
is
the
one
who
will
be
with
you
through
thick
and
thin.
I
have
always
been
a
protected
child
and
sister.
I
am
the
only
girl
in
the
family,
I
have
two
brothers
of
my
own
and
many
cousin
brothers
and
sisters.
We
all
are
there
for
each
other.
I
don't
know
what
joint
family
is
because
I
was
raised
in
a
nuclear
family
but
I
was
always
attached
to
my
grandparents.
Sidharrth
Sipani:
In
my
opinion
it
is
incredibly
important
to
grow
with
a
family
around.
From
what
I
have
learned
with
regards
to
the
significance
of
family
no
matter
how
big
or
small,
legitimate
or
illegitimate
it
is
supposed
to
be
someone's
bedrock,
comfort
zone,
sounding
board,
love
nest
of
acceptance,
an
interaction
with
others
that
prepares
you
for
life,
helps
in
defining
your
purpose
as
well.
Family
values
that
children
inherit
from
their
parents,
grandparents,
things
they
teach
us
in
day-to-day
help
them
grow.
Parents
play
a
significant
role
in
children's
psychological
development.
The
size
of
that
role
depends
on
the
amount
of
time
that
the
adults
devote
to
each
child's
development.
Sneh
Binny:
Well!
Family
is
definitely
important.
It
helps
in
inculcating
values
and
ethics
in
a
child
at
a
young
age.
Nuclear
Families
make
it
difficult
for
the
child
to
get
those
values
at
a
young
age,
as
in
many
cases
both
the
parents
are
not
available
to
take
care
of
the
child
all
the
time,
whereas
in
a
larger
family
set-up,
the
child
gets
nurtured
by
other
members
of
the
family
if
their
parents
are
busy
earning
to
take
care
of
their
loved
ones.
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
nothing
is
bad
if
we
know
how
to
turn
the
tide.
And
whether
nuclear
or
joint
family,
it's
always
a
choice.
Aly
Goni:
Life
is
all
about
loving
your
family.
I
have
grown
up
with
a
lot
of
family
members
around
in
Jammu,
so
I
never
ever
thought
of
growing
up
in
a
nuclear
family.
The
interpersonal
equation
in
a
joint
family
makes
you
feel
secure
and
human.
Nuclear
family
is
a
different
concept
altogether.
The
coming
generation
may
not
know
the
concept
of
joint
families
especially
in
metro
cities.
I
feel
ghar
ke
environment
ka
bahut
fark
padta
hai.
People
are
needed
in
everyone's
life.
We
all
need
good
people
around
us
and
all
generations
understand
that.
Amit
Sarin:
I
might
be
settled
abroad
but
at
heart
I
am
a
true
blue
desi
and
my
childhood
years
were
with
a
lot
of
family
members
around.
And
that
has
strengthened
my
personality.
So
I
also
teach
my
children
the
value
of
a
family.
I
am
constantly
in
touch
with
my
parents
and
relatives
who
live
in
India.
Nuclear
families
are
reality
but
in
a
lot
of
places
joint
families
still
exist,
and
will
always
exist.
Rohit
Choudhary:
For
me
every
day
is
a
family
day
and
no
one
can
understand
you
better
than
your
family.
Only
family
will
always
think
about
your
well
being,
that's
why
in
life
it
is
very
important
that
we
all
should
always
stay
close
to
our
family,
give
first
preference
to
our
loved
ones.
During
our
childhood
years,
we
did
not
open
up
in
front
of
our
parents
but
today's
generation,
parents
and
children
are
friends.
It
has
made
communication
better.
I
would
advise
everyone
to
give
more
importance
to
their
family.
The
next
generation
thinks
they
should
not
be
involving
parents
in
everything
but
that
is
wrong.
You
should
take
advice
from
your
parents
because
they
have
knowledge
and
experience.
Also,
no
one
will
understand
you
better
than
your
parents.
They
are
the
biggest
well
wishers
you
always
have,
so
do
take
their
guidance
before
deciding
on
what
is
right
and
wrong.
