  "account": "Neena Gupta recently discussed her approach to telling her daughter Masaba about her father, former cricketer Viv Richards, in a candid interview. She explained that she had to be truthful with Masaba when she asked about her father, ensuring that she didn't develop resentment towards him. Neena mentioned that she carefully explained the circumstances to her daughter, ensuring she didn't distort her father's legacy. Psychotherapist Delnna Rrajesh praised Neena for her honesty, emphasizing the importance of truth-telling in a child's emotional development. She noted that children form their identities through their parents and that shielding them from the truth can lead to confusion and identity issues. Delnna stressed that honesty isn't about sharing every detail but about providing age-appropriate insights to help children understand complex human relationships.",
