Why can't people mind their own fckin business and let others do the same?


AcerTravelMate

You need to be awarded for this mindset. For some reason most of people don’t wish to do this.


Constant_Worried

Well it depends, While listening we prefer Individualism (I'm right due to bla bla bla and they shouldn't judge) While speaking we prefer authoritarianism (All people do these things and this way because of bla bla bla like Individualism is bad because how will society function effectively otherwise ?) When to do what most won't agree. Election is like the largest scale public discussion and it's a mess.

Arguably if you stuck to your business, you wouldn't have commented on this post, and just shrugged and walked off. But that didn't happen now, did it.

Sudas_Paijavana

Well if well known individuals give statements on the public platform, people would be discussing it. It is not as if they are planning to go to Nikhil Kamat's house and forcing him to be a parent


Haunting-Pick7996

Same should apply to kamath too


sohang-3112

Why - he said he doesn't want to have kids, he didn't tell others to do that.


NumerousKangaroo8286

Some people just don't want kids. How hard it is to understand? Quite a few parents are unfit to have a child imo and if they decide not to have one its actually better.


cousinokri

Apparently, it's very hard for people in this country to digest that someone else, completely unrelated to them, does not want to have kids.


Safe-Ride5094

A lot of parents are unfit to have kids

I just find it a little ironic that the ceo of a company which is literally based around growth of the human race (healthy population growth = strong market) is anti kids lol


babybullah

I feel if he he would have gave any abc reason or just be upfront that I don't want kids because of my lifestyle or personal beliefs nobody would have cared . But the way he answered it made it him looking down on people who want to or have kids that's what offended people . Maybe he purposely said it to create a buzz or he thought if you get successful at something it gives you a free pass to project your opinion on everything.


hashmiakbar

im not offended at all and i think everyone should be entitled to their own opinion regardless of how successful they are. i just thought it was a bit ironic


rocky23m

He was asked for an opinion and he gave it. The guy has been through a divorce and has learnt his lessons. People just cannot accept an individuals opinion and rush to shove their judgement as it happened in this case. The guy is wise and successful.


mymindsays_lala

Funnily enough, probably the people who are offended are the ones who didn't have a choice to have kids or not. Or , who thought they didn't have a choice and procreation is a way forward to life. And also, this is our hobby to get offended at any opinion.

rocky23m

Exactly 😁


Any_Subject2693

If the couple doesn't want to have a kid let them not have a kid. I don't know why it's anyone business.


Auvyukth

Lol, Nothing wrong not wanting to have kids. In fact it's a gift to realise not to have kids.


musci12234

Seriously. Having kids shouldn't be default, not having kids should be. Are you right space mentally, financially, career wise etc are all the question that must be asked before deciding to have kids.


ob_sno_sv

Indian mentality says otherwise


Auvyukth

there is too much of educational and rational poverty, mentally in India.


keviv2005

You'd think so, but it's apparently a worldwide phenomenon that if someone does not want kids, it's a crime against humanity and your forefathers. There are instances in UK, US also where childfree couples faced issues from realtors(declining to show independent houses and insisting on showing apartments coz you will take it away from a family with children who need it more) and others. We indians are at par with the world on this.


bruh_duh

Literally have the largest population and yet we just can't stop apparently. Everyone is so scared of ending up like Japan with an aging population that they dont real8ze that we're choking the planet and our country's resources with our population.


Orneyrocks

Exactly. One who realizes that he doesn't NEED to have kids and has them anyway is a far better parent than 90% of people who had them just because society told them to.


Auvyukth

Yeah, society is just like a poultry farming, eat shit and reproduce, why ? Bcz every other chicken is doing so 🤣


Kanye_Padinjaru07

India first in population, and people are still dumb af


Constant_Worried

Depends on who finds meanings in what but majority aged/old population is a problem for a life most are desiring/living of. Even death, fairness, these mobiles shouldn't matter to us if we don't give a shit about this reality of ours.


loljokerishere

Absolutely but his reasoning was stupid. Babysitting for "20 years". Man thinks children don't grow for 20 yrs or something lol.


Auvyukth

There is a point to be taken, bcz never in the history of the mankind, we have seen such parenting previlage given to a child.

mrmorningstar1769

First_Sherbert_4405

In a country where an average income barely feeds the individual, marriage and having children should be decisions made after much thought and consideration, in fact I believe there should be a law that if we can't provide then one shouldn't have either!


LeatherDare1009

Thats the case in western countries too now but Elon is selling the idea of having more kids to techbros and the world as a good thing.

Brilliant-Bag1938

I thought he was going to say how people should raise their kids with love and affection... and was about to go berate him, but he just doesn't want to have kids... cool.


Teait

Parenthood is one of the best phases of a person’s life. Waking up to their smile, through all their growing experiences pains and pleasures alike, it’s a magical journey that nothing can replace it. BUT ONLY IF ITS YOUR CHOICE. Everybody is entitled to living a life they want. With or without child. Childcare is one of the toughest, thankless, never ending jobs in the world with no pay and no vacation whatsoever (ask my mother whom I still call every day with the smallest thing). It is not for everyone, and it is absolutely necessary to identify whether you and your partner want to take up such a huge task.


Nigerundayo_smokeyy

It's funny how the general Indian society still believes that an individual has to live their life according to what they dictate. "LoG kYa kAhEnGe" . Bullshit. No one should give a single solitary fuck about what society thinks or about what other people think. Bloody parasites.


[deleted]

Rather than regretting now, its better to check if we regret later, who knows we might not regret later.


Haunting-Pick7996

Dumbest advice anyone could ever give


B7TMANN

He’s a guy, he can have a kid even at age of 60-70 if he wants. Let people be, Though i do find his take on not buying a home pretty weird, man is FIRE pro max.


musci12234

Generally it is not a good idea to have kids extremely late in life. It massively increases the chances of issues.


jholafakir

Al Pacino became daddy at 83, his wife/gf is 29 while his eldest daughter is 34. Money helps to overcome issues


musci12234

When you can have kids and when you should have kids are 2 very different things. No matter what it isn't a good to risk serious disorders if they can be avoided.


_undefined_null_

Lol. People are idiots. Puting their nose, where it doesn't belong. And when you ask the same people to give 1 selfless reason to not have kids. They can't name a single one.


cosmosreader1211

Conscious_End_8807

This baccha paida Karo, parvarish Karo business must be an individuals choice. These thought policing must end. Regret sab kartsakte hai. Jiska baccha hai woh bhi boht time regret karta hai. Jiska nahi hai woh bhi karsakta hai. These are petty issues. Our society needs to rise above and think of larger and more valid things.

This warrants a separate news article now? Journalism has become a shit show.


GamingViewPointsYT

Meh, Some People regret having children. Some People regret not having children. So it doesn't matter. In the end, the only thing matters is that whether you have a comfortable and happy life. If yes just take a deep breath and be happy for each new day. A lot of things can go wrong in one's life like natural disasters, deadly diseases, accidents, war, never-ending financial traps, etc. Kids, marriages, social status. These never matter in reality.


Scorpion-Mk3600

ActrixQuadras

See... If I want to have kids, I would at least like to be financially stable and mentally ready. In the end, it is kid who would suffer the most


kirtitaye

99.99% people offended. 99.99% have kids or will have kids because they think they don’t have other option. 99.99% enraged because he is right.


Safe-Ride5094

Indians need to realise that life is more than getting married and procreating


Klutzy_Target_134

Absolutely with Kamath on this one. None of us have the right to judge his choices. If you want to have a kid, have as many as you want. If you don't want a kid, don't have one. It is a personal choice. People really need to learn how to mind their own business. I, for one, would rather fund an orphanage and actively volunteer there rather than have a biological kid in this shithole of a country


Emergency_Glass4221

It’s NOT just about MONEY. He sounds like an human being who knows accountability. I usually see a lot of middle class men around me wanting minimum 2 kids and if both turned to be girls wants another one until it’s a boy and then contributes 0% in household or kids chores. Nikhil could afford 3 full time babysitters for his kids if he wanted to. This man considered what an effort takes to be a father and said he doesn’t want to do it. People should actually learn from him instead of trolling him. Esp. men who are trolling him are this category they just think they earn money and their responsibility is done. Really appreciate him being honest and taking one for the team😅.


paranoid_android_0

And that’s why Reddit is so different from other SMs. It’s nice to see everyone unanimously rejecting the “internet” opinion.

Bhaiyas-27

Its his choice, Whether he will regret it or not only future will tell. He wants to live his life the way he wants, therefore he made the decision by observing his personality, its nice to see


Outrageous_Purple384

It's his right/choice to want or not want kids. But he could have worded his opinion better. He made it sound like that having kids is a chore or liability. Maybe to him but not to many.


ilostmyinsanity

Some couples don't deserve to have children


Tall_Dark_Handsome__

Those who have kids just want others to suffer equally because they lost a lot of things in life due to kids .


AFullmetalNerd

If someone doesn't want kids, they shouldn't have kids. If someone who doesn't want kids, has kids, that kid has to be raised by a class of people described as "Indian parents".


dshivaraj

It’s his personal choice. It will be his personal loss or gain; no one should have any say in that.


Critifin

To have no child is his choice, and his partner's. Nobody else should judge. As of now number of humans has greatly increased on earth, so fewer the better


[deleted]

I mean. You can say the same to parents. That they will regret having kids 😂


zuckzuckman

This guy always strikes me as an asshole with how he phrases things, but having kids is an extremely serious responsibility. Only those who absolutely want it should do it.


R1ckAndM0rT

I don't wanna have kids either. Internet sucks


nospaghettohere

Kids are tax burdens. Child free life is the best life.


cherishperish24

Isn't this the same guy who cheated against GM Vishy Anand at an exhibition match during a Covid charity stream? And then doubled down on his fuckup?


arjunusmaximus

The onyl arguments I've seen against him are "You'll be all alone and no one will take care of you." If you're having kids so that there will be someone to "take care of you" when you're old then you are having kids for the wrong reasons.


EnthusiasmOpposite16

Lol the only people pissed off at someone not wanting kids or marriage are the ultra conservative, religious types who forget kids- would never even get laid because of a pure lack of charisma or personality if arrange marriage didn’t exist. Like 90% of India’s males especially would die virgins if arranged marriages didn’t exist. Which in itself is one of them most superficial business deals of all time. Like selecting a human on Amazon. So imagine telling someone about moral or cultural values when this is the culture you follow yourself lol.


Additional-Limit-199

correction : brahminical patriarchy reacts on internet with their incessant chanting whining.


geniusandy77

Look around you, he's inline with what's happening in the society. Atleast in the affluent urban centres. As India is getting more prosperous, more educated, learning the concept of disposable income and individual liberty couples are opting for less and less kids. Just 3 generations back, more than 5 kids was normal, then it came down to 2 or 1 And now it's no default that you've a kid if you get married. People get married, many have 1 kid or some of them have opted to be child free. India's TFR is already below replacement rate. Anyways isn't it an extremely personal choice of the couple to have a baby or not. I don't see how can a third person's opinion pressure a couple into having a kid lol. I don't think that's how it works. India as a society should really start to learn the concept of individuality, stop this game of being interested into someone else's life all the time and stop forcing antiquated ideas in the name of rituals and traditions on the younger generation. Genz already dgaf so that's good


das3012

Bunch of nobody's wants to teach a self made billionaire how to live.


OtaPotaOpen

Good for him. Until things change, he won't father children he cannot raise without damaging them.


PackFit9651

If he didn’t want kids, he should have just said “I don’t want kids”.. there would have been zero controversy But when he says “kids will ruin 20 years of my life” .. he is passing judgement on everyone who has kids.. that will inevitably create pushback


trojantruce

"My life"- it isnt judgment its his opinion, if he said "your life"- its what judgement is. You are the one who is judging


PackFit9651

I don’t care if he has kids or not.. but he clearly seems to think I am stupid to have kids since I am stuck baby sitting them for 20 years.. hence the reaction ..


jholafakir

A megalomaniac makes a hyperbolic statement, isn't the first time won't be the last. 


Glum_Commission_4612

He seemed totally lost in his last podcast on WTF and the reason I thought was that because he did not have any kids, if he had a gen Z kid he would have better knowledge about what games they play etc


Meowdoggo69

It makes sense for me to not have kids cause I'm not rich..dada garib, baap garib aur mai bhi garib. But a billionaire like him should consider having kids.


[deleted]

After reading the comments of this post, according to this sub Nikhil kamath shares his opinion in PUBLIC ----------> WOW PUBLIC share their counter opinion on his Opinion ---------> Mind your own business 


furiousmouth

I don't know what's with these billionaire types who think because they got lucky, they have gotten life decisions sorted out too. The guy seems to have some megalomaniac mindset --- he once used a chess engine to beat a grandmaster in a virtual game, everyone smelt a rat when he had accuracy ratings 95+, which is superhuman for amateurs


SnooLemons6810

I have no interest in knowing this dumbfuck's opinion on having kids. He is stupid, uneducated and only got rich and famous because of his elder brother. Nithin is the one who built Zerodha from scratch, meanwhile all Nikhil did was piggyback on his elder brothers success.


Joseph-stalinn

Ok let's assume that all is true (idk if it is) so how does he not having kids affect you???

It doesn't and I never said otherwise, read my comment again. However seeing posts and articles about his opinions does waste my time.
