Lara Dutta reveals the time her daughter Saira spoke about divorce: ‘I almost had a heart attack’

Lara Dutta uncovered she was in shock when she discovered that her daughter Saira knew about the idea of divorce at the age of four. The actress uncovered that it was her husband,, tennis legend Mahesh Bhupathi who taught Saira about it when they were watching the TV show Friends.

Speaking with Brut India, Lara said, “His favourite show ever is Friends, which he got my daughter hooked on to when she was just four years old. So at four, my daughter came and asked me one day, ‘Mum…’ she was playing a game and she said, ‘Oh, I’m living. This is my house, that’s your house and I’m divorce.’ And I almost had a heart attack, because I was just like ‘What are you saying? Who told you? What is divorce?’ and she’s like, ‘Oh, when two people are in a bad marriage and don’t get along and they’re living separately, it means they are divorced’.”

She added, “She was five years old and I was like, ‘Who told you this?’ She said, ‘Daddy did’. I was like (gesturing a phone call) ‘Mahesh, why the hell have you told her what divorce is?’ and he started laughing. He was like, ‘No we were watching Friends and she wanted to know why was Ross married three times.’ I was like, ‘So you told her the meaning of divorce?’ That’s the kind of parents we are.”
