Hug your children with a little love and affection: Gultekin Khan
My eldest daughter Nova did not take any of us with her to find out her SSC exam results. As soon as we returned home, I hugged her and cried and said, ‘My daughter has grown so much! She has passed her matriculation (as we used to call her)!’

I said the same thing to Sheela during her time. Bipasha, I was not at home on the day of my younger daughter’s results. I returned home as soon as I heard the results were coming out. I ran and opened the door when I heard the doorbell ring. And at that moment, I hugged Bipasha and cried. And I said, ‘My daughter has grown so much, she has passed her matriculation!’
After a while, Sheela returned from college and took me to her room and whispered, ‘Did you hug her and cry? What did you say to her?’
I didn’t memorize all this. I just said whatever came to mind. Sheela said, ‘I saved you!’
I said, ‘Why?’
Then she said, ‘You told both of us the same thing while crying. She thinks you don’t love her. And if you don’t say the same thing after her results, then Bipasha’s idea will come true.’
At that time, we were in the midst of some personal problems. The atmosphere at home was already not good. On top of that, Bipasha’s idea! Lucky, I said the same thing after the SSC results of all three of us!
If this is just a matter of word of mouth, who knows what they would have done if the results of the exam were bad!
Tomorrow (July 10), the SSC results will be out in the country. Not everyone has taken the exam in the same way or will get the same results. This is the first big exam in their lives. I say with folded hands, hug your children with a little love and affection! Give them some time, cook them some of their favorite food or take them to a place they will like.
Please, don’t tell them anything in front of anyone outside that will hurt their feelings. They are very arrogant at this age. Don’t let them make a mistake or misunderstand and go somewhere far away. Don’t let an exam have a bad impact on their life.
I say to all parents, siblings and guardians, give them some time. Hug them and say, ‘Dad, we will try again next time!’
