While this video of Suyyash and Kishwer's son wearing a skull cap and learning greetings in Islam has drawn mixed response, the celebrity parents seem keen bestowing a religious upbringing to their son Nirvair. In some of the videos posted previously, Nirvair is seen performing seva at a gurudwara.

The couple, who welcomed their first child in August 2021, keep sharing the family's travel and outing videos quite often on social media. Both Kishwer and Suyyash have taken a break from active TV work and are fully focussed on the upbringing of Nirvair.
