Mehta and Ambani's life as parents

The family celebrated Veda's first birthday on a luxury cruise ship in Europe amid pre-wedding celebrations for Anant and Radhika.

Reactions
'We really need to consider them as superhumans...'
Meanwhile, other users also expressed solidarity with Mehta's state.
One user remarked, "I think we really need to consider them as superhumans looking at the fact that they survived this for so long with energy and zeal! We get exhausted just dancing at a random wedding for 2 days!"
Additional comments echoed similar sentiments: "Won't be surprised if Anant and Radhika are dozing off too."
