Netizens react to the video of Shahid Kapoor teaching his son how to ride a cycle
As soon as Shahid Kapoor posted the video of him teaching his son, Zain, how to ride a bicycle in his unique way, netizens took to the comment section and shared their opinions. A user penned, “Daddy Duty.” Another stated, “Very Cute moment. A user commented, “This is so cute. I think you’ve done a pretty good jugaad with the towel. But maybe holding his seat from the back and the handle could give you a better grip.” While several users dropped heart emojis to share their love for the father-son duo, many also shared advice for the actor.
A user penned, “Aww, that’s cute! Well, we learned it with extra wheel support! That works Damn well.” Another said, “Hold the seat of the cycle with your one hand and let him paddle and move forward. Drop your hand between a few intervals while riding.” A comment read, “Ek Do baar cycle se girne do apne aap sikh jaega! Of course, pehle helmet pehna dijiye bas! Baki, all the best to you and him!” A user in a long note wrote:
“Balancing from the side is a little tricky; instead of holding your son, balance the cycle from behind. The old-school technique will also give him more confidence to balance since you will be behind and out of his sight. Also, since you will be handling the cycle from the centre, you will be able to manage the fall at both ends, if at all.”
