,
Aaliyah Kashyap
enjoys a massive fan following and has emerged as one of the youth icons on social media. She is often seen sharing fun videos and happy memories with her fans and well wishers. Having said that, in a new video shared by the starlet, she opens up about being close to her parents.
On a starting note, Aaliyah shares her
relationship
with Anurag and Aarti is more like best friends than a ‘strict parent-child relationship’. “I am very open with my parents. My parents are like my best friends. My parents, when I was growing up, always wanted to have a relationship where it was more like friendship rather than this strict parent-child relationship because that way, I wouldn’t be sneaking around doing stuff.”
She also added, “Obviously, all
teenagers experiment
with stuff like alcohol and stuff like that, but I was always very open with my parents when I did anything like that. Because, I mean, it’s normal. I am not going to lie and say I didn’t drink as a teenager. Of course, I did, I do. But I was open with my parents and I was responsible when I was doing it.”
Aaliyah also revealed that while her mom knew every detail about her dating life, she shared with her father only when things were serious. “Even when it comes to relationships, I am very open. Every time I was like talking to a guy or dating a guy or anything, I would tell my mom about it. My dad, I would only tell when it was going to actually turn into something serious. Like, the actual dating and not just talking,” she said.
