Palak Tiwari, the daughter of TV actor Shweta Tiwari, reflected on her upbringing in a women-led household, stating she never felt the absence of a father figure. Palak shared that her mother emphasized the importance of happiness over societal expectations, encouraging her to be a happy woman rather than just a good one. Despite her parents' divorce in 2012, she felt supported and loved, describing her home as a 'crowded fun home' filled with emotional security. Dr. Rimpa Sarkar, a child development expert, noted that a nurturing environment can help children thrive even in the absence of a parent. She highlighted that emotional safety, validation, and reliable support are crucial for healthy development. While sheltering children from conflict during a divorce can preserve their sense of safety, Sarkar warned against excessive overprotection, which may hinder their ability to process emotions later in life.
