Abhinav Shukla on the dying art of 'repairing': We replace
Mumbai, June 7
Through his latest post on social media, actor Abhinav Shukla talked about the dying art of repairing.
Sharing a picture of himself standing next to a bike, most likely trying to repair it, the 'Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka' actor stated that in today's time, we all have a tendency to replace everything that does not seem to work. It may be a person or a relationship.
Abhinav stressed that people now do not have the patience to spend time learning to repair things.
"The Dying Art: REPAIRING ! People , relations , things Just Replace, people hardly spend time learning how to repair ! (sic)," captioned the
'Chotti Bahu' actor.
Apart from being a talented actor, Abhinav is also a doting father to his two twin daughters, Edhaa & Jeeva, whom he welcomed with his better half, Rubina Dilaik, in 2023.
On May 27 this year, Abhinav marked his daughters 'Interim Birthday' as they turned two and a half years old.
Taking to his Insta account, he dropped an adorable photo of the twins relaxing by the seaside with their backs towards the camera.
In the post, Abhinav went on to reflect on his 'incredible journey' as a father, which includes sleepless nights, heart-melting hugs, and even reasonable cries.
He penned on his official Instagram handle, "My Troopers are 2 1/2 years today ! What an incredible journey, never a dull day with them. The unconditional smiles in the morning , cute and simple demands , artless nature , genuine hugs and reasonable cries ! Hundreds of nights of interrupted sleep and muscular fatigue washed away with such genuine love and affection they have at such a young age ! E&J Happy Interim Birthday ! 27 May 2026."
Just like Abhinav, Rubina also keeps on sharing glimpses from their precious time with their little ones on social media.

This is so true. I remember my grandfather used to repair old transistor radios and clocks that my father had given up on. Today, even the smallest defect in a phone means buying a new one. But let's be real, sometimes it's just not worth the effort. Like Abhinav's twins are so precious though. His perspective on fatherhood is wholesome. 😊
I partially disagree. Yes, we replace too many things, but isn't that also progress? If I have a broken toaster, I don't have the time to learn repairing it when I can get a new one for ₹500. But for relationships? That's a different matter. We are losing the patience to work through disagreements. Abhinav's post is a reminder that some things are worth the effort. Those twin daughters must be his whole world. 🥰
Beautiful sentiment. In our fast-paced world, we've forgotten the value of mending. My dad still has a vintage Royal Enfield he's been repairing since the 90s. It's become a symbol of patience and love. Abhinav and his family seem to have that same spirit. Those photos of his twins by the sea are adorable. 🌊
The irony is that he posted this on social media, which is exactly the platform that promotes instant gratification and superficial connections. But I respect the message. As someone who fixes old bikes as a hobby, I can tell you that the satisfaction of repairing something is unmatched. It's like giving it a second life. And those little Edhaa and Jeeva are lucky to have such a thoughtful father. Jaise bhi ho, dua hai unki zindagi mein sab kuch theek rahe. 🙏
