Tara Sutaria has often talked about various aspects of her life in the public eye. During a recent interview, the actor opened up about her childhood and shared how she and her twin sister, Pia Sutaria, were raised by their parents.
During an appearance on Fashionably Pernia, Tara looked back at her younger days and recalled how her parents made a conscious effort to treat both daughters as equals. “My mom and dad kind of always treated my sister and me like we were equals. We were kind of treated like adults when we were kids, and our opinions always mattered,” Tara revealed.
According to the actor, allowing children to feel heard can have a lasting impact on their confidence. “I think that gives a child so much confidence. We also enjoy arguing, which I think sometimes families feel… out of respect, kids might not feel comfortable having a healthy argument. Like our family loves to agree to disagree. And I love that about our family,” Tara shared.
Tara Sutaria believes that the ability to disagree openly became another part of growing up in an environment where her voice was valued. “So I think that brings maturity, confidence and a certain... again, adds to your sense of self," she said.
