Recently, during an interview with a well-known publication, Ritesh Agarwal spoke about embracing fatherhood. He talked about how he continued to thrive in the early stages of parenthood and discussed the difficulties of changing diapers and having restless nights. Nevertheless, he described it as an amazing experience and discussed his other 2023 successes.

He stated, “It’s still early days. I am trying to be better in my diaper duties and of course the sleep is quite volatile as you can imagine. But it is so special. Just seeing your child change everyday because he becomes slightly different every week. So I think it’s a fantastic thing. So this is very new and this year is a year with all new roles. There’s fatherhood and then there is Shark Tank India season 3. So I have to try and do well in quite a few things. I am looking forward to it.”

His caption reads, "The miracle of life is breathtaking, and our hearts are forever changed. Meet our precious little one - Aryan. The sleepless nights spent building OYO were just a warm-up for the sleepless nights of parenthood, and yet, I've never been happier than I am at this very moment! Here's to us, my incredible wife Geet, the bundle of joy Aryan and to the new chapter we're writing together – filled with love, laughter, and the indescribable happiness that only a little one can bring."

He shared a photo of himself and his expectant wife, who was seen showing off her baby bump while wearing a lovely blue outfit. Furthermore, the devoted partner was observed holding his wife's growing baby bump. Ritesh wrote a heartfelt statement with it, sharing that he was a teenager when he first met Geet, his wife for eleven years. He continued by saying that although it was difficult for him to convince his family of his desire, Geet, his wife, was always there to encourage him.

Ritesh revealed, "I met Geet eleven years ago, when I was just a teenager chasing dreams, trying to convince my family that I wanted to build my company from scratch. There was only one constant who was by my side through it all, and it was her. The highs of happiness and milestones, the lows of pain and loss, we've been through so much together."
