Shoaib Ibrahim Gets Candid About Son Ruhaan’s Premature Delivery And 20 Days In NICU! Says 'Doctors Kept Calming Us'-READ BELOW
Shoaib Ibrahim was on cloud nine after he embraced fatherhood for the first time after the arrival of his baby boy, Ruhaan. The actor and his wife Dipika Kakar started their parenting journey on June 21, 2023; however, they gave birth to their baby boy via an emergency C-section delivery. Now, Shoaib has opened up about his fatherhood journey so far and revealed the deets about his life as a new parent.

In a recent interview with ETimes TV, the actor opened up about his fatherhood journey so far and revealed the details about his life as a new parent and called it the most beautiful phase. He also shared how he rushes home to be with his son, Ruhaan. 

He said, "These days wherever I am, I just keep looking at my watch. I want to be home. I just want to spend all my time with my baby. In fact, after he was born, I had taken a 10-12 leave just to be with him. The new duties of fatherhood are going great. Bahut kamaal ka chal raha hai. Sach bolun now I don't like to go anywhere. I feel like just staying home with my son and family. Ruhaan keeps sleeping, and I keep staring at him. I trouble him a little bit. When he wakes up, I take him into my arms and keep roaming around with him. I am learning things from Dipika."

He also spoke about his fatherly duties and shared that he has learned to hold his son in his arms and give him burps. Interestingly, the actor shared that he knows how to change Ruhaan’s clothes, and he is slowly learning how to change his diapers. 


Adding that it would be difficult to describe the changes he is seeing in himself, the actor stated: "I have learnt how to carry him in my arms safely. I have also learnt how to give him burps. I can also now change his clothes. I haven't been able to learn how to change his diapers. I've to learn, and slowly, I will do it. It would be difficult to describe the changes I am seeing in myself, but all I can say is that the feeling of becoming a father is very beautiful. When I've myself experienced things from Dipika's pregnancy to the delivery, I've realised no matter what you do for them in life, you will never be able to repay for the things your parents have done for you in their life."

Shoaib Ibrahim revealed that Ruhaan was in the NICU for the initial 20 days and that period was very difficult for them. He also shared that his son was born premature, one and a half months early, and the doctors told them that starting one week was very crucial. He also added that seeing Ruhaan with an oxygen mask and IVs was difficult. 


The Sasural Simar Ka actress told ETimes, "The initial 20 days, especially the first week when Ruhaan was born, and he was in the NICU, were very difficult for us. He was born premature, he was born one and a half months early, and as per doctors, the delivery should happen after a minimum of 38 weeks. 40 weeks is the full pregnancy term. Starting ka one week was very crucial, doctors were calming us down, everything will be fine, and there is nothing to worry, but to see him in a situation where he is wearing an oxygen mask and IVs, was difficult."
