  "account": "Sohail Khan has spoken about his co-parenting arrangement with ex-wife Seema Sajdeh, revealing that their two sons live primarily with him. In an interview on the reality show Alliance, the actor admitted that their separation initially impacted his work life and mental well-being, but the situation improved over time.\n\nSohail expressed deep respect for Seema, emphasizing that she is the mother of his two beautiful children and deserves his utmost regard. He acknowledged that despite their separation, the show provided an opportunity for them to reconnect and support each other. Sohail also noted that the kids come to stay at his home several times a week, giving Seema ample access to see her children.\n\nWhen asked if Seema could visit whenever she wanted, Sohail confirmed that he had given her the keys to their home, indicating a willingness to facilitate regular contact. He explained that the approach they have taken as parents is to keep things simple for the children, ensuring they don't feel the strain of their parents' separation. Sohail stated, \"No stress for the kids; she and I can handle it. I don’t want kids to feel that mom and dad fight or that mom and dad are having an argument. We have just told them, 'Beta, you have the best of both a mother and a father, first as parents, but your parents they take discussion together'.\"\n\nPsychologist Rasshi Gurnani provided insight into what constitutes healthy co-parenting post-separation. According to Gurnani, emotional security for children is more about maintaining stable, consistent relationships with both parents rather than living under the same roof. She emphasized that children thrive when important relationships remain steady, even as the family structure changes. Gurnani noted that healthy co-parenting involves clear boundaries, consistent communication, and mutual respect, with decisions about routines, schooling, health, and discipline being made collaboratively. Most importantly, children should be shielded from adult conflicts, communicated directly with both parents, and reassured that they are loved by both. This stability contributes to better emotional regulation, self-esteem, and future interpersonal relationships for the child.",
