Exclusive: Jwala Gutta on embracing motherhood, keeping her off social media and raising a strong girl
As the world celebrates Mother's Day today, former badminton champion Jwala Gutta has every reason to feel the occasion a little more personally this year. She and her husband, Tamil actor Vishnu Vishal, welcomed their baby girl in April—on their fourth wedding anniversary—marking a profound new chapter in her life. A post shared by Jwala Gutta (@jwalagutta1) And true to her candid, grounded self, Jwala begins by laughing at the novelty of it all. 'I mean, people will actually wish me now—so….,' she quips. While motherhood is new in a practical sense, Jwala insists the emotional essence of it feels extremely familiar. 'I think I always was..... you know? What I've understood so far is, this isn't something new for me. My sister is about eight years younger than me, so I think it was innate—something that was always there,' she shares. 'Now, of course, I have to physically attend to an infant, but the feeling hasn't changed. I'm quite surprised. I thought it would feel new, but for me personally… I always had juniors around me, and my nature is also quite like that, so the instinct has always been there,' she adds. There's a raw honesty in how she describes her current routine—juggling early motherhood without external help. 'I guess, I've always had that maternal instinct. I take care of people around me. The physical aspect of it is very new for me, of course, and, I'm trying to get used to a routine now. I haven't hired any help, no nanny, no extra hands. I want to change the diapers on my own, I want to wake up every 2-3 hours. So, I'm doing everything on my own—because I wanted to experience this,' she says. A post shared by Jwala Gutta (@jwalagutta1) Despite this hands-on approach, Jwala hasn't distanced herself from her professional commitments. She continues to contribute to Indian badminton as part of the selection committee. 'I'm in administration now—so I'm always available on the phone. Meetings are happening right now at my academy in Hyderabad, so I monitor things remotely. I can't go there physically because I don't want her to come in contact with too many people. But, I am still doing everything,' she says. Perhaps the most striking aspect of this new mother's outlook is her unapologetic stance on social media. In a world where screen-time begins in early childhood, Jwala is taking a hard stand. 'I am completely against social media, at least until the age of 18. I think it's even more relevant now. Personally, I don't take social media very seriously, so trolling doesn't affect me. But I'm afraid the next generation isn't as thick-skinned. I'm seeing the (bad) effects of social media—it's very close to me because I have children at my academy. I see their behaviour and how they're being distracted,' she says. "When you look at the new kids on the block, they're distracted. There's no patience. There's no urge to learn. Everything is through social media. There's no power to analyse—they believe everything they see or hear,' she adds. So in her household, there will be no bending of rules. 'There will be no smartphone for her, for sure, not atleast till she is 18 years old. Now that I have a child, I'm going to make sure she stays away from the screen.' But for all her firmness, what Jwala ultimately hopes to pass on are the values that shaped her own journey—resilience, independence, and patience. 'I'll probably teach her to be independent, of course. That's what my parents taught me—to take care of myself. And yes, I'm very happy I have a girl, because I think this society today needs strong, independent women,' she concludes.

Driver set to be disciplined for giving water to India cheetahs in viral video
Indian authorities have said they are taking disciplinary action against a worker for offering water to a cheetah and her cubs inside the country's prominent national park housing the wild cats. India is home to 26 cheetahs, a mix of borrowed animals from South Africa and Namibia and some cubs born in India, for a reintroduction project at the Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh to repopulate the species in the country and Asia. The incident was first reported on Sunday in a viral video when a man working as a driver in the national park was seen helping the cheetah and her subs to drink water from a metal pan. Within seconds, one of the female cheetahs named Jwala and her four cubs were seen walking up to the pan and drinking the water. The initial response to the video showing the driver helping cheetahs was heartwarming and kind, but shortly after, many pointed out safety concerns between humans and animals in such close-interactions. In response, the park authorities said that the man has violated instructions which state that only an authorised team of officials can go near the cheetahs, reported Press Trust of India. They noted that it is not uncommon for certain staff members in the park to offer water to the cheetahs if they approach the boundary of the national park. This helps in keeping the cheetahs within the forest and not run away. Uttam Kumar Sharma, the additional principal chief conservator of forests, said that the mother and her cubs were in the fields near the park boundary. "The monitoring team, in general, has been instructed to try to deviate or lure the cheetahs back inside whenever such a situation arises so as not to create human-cheetah conflict," he said. Only trained personnel are allowed to do so and the driver's actions went against the established protocol, he said. "There are clear instructions to move away from cheetahs. Only authorised persons can go in close proximity to them to perform a specific task," he said. Indian authorities relocated a total of 20 cheetahs from South Africa and Namibia to the Kuno national park between 2022 and 2023. Of these, at least eight of the big cats have died due to various reasons like kidney failure and mating injuries. With the addition of new cubs, the total cheetah population in the park stands at 26. The project to reintroduce the cheetah, which went extinct in India in 1952, has been controversial. Several wildlife experts had questioned the viability of the animals surviving in the country even before their arrival from Africa, on prime minister Narendra Modi's birthday in 2022. Scrutiny increased after several of the cheetahs died and many repeatedly strayed outside the national park, only to be tranquilised and brought back. There are less than 7,000 adult cheetahs left in the wild globally and they now inhabit less than 9 per cent of their original range.

Inquiry against Indian man seen giving water to cheetahs in viral video
Authorities in India's Kuno National Park have started disciplinary action against a forest worker who is seen offering water to a cheetah and her cubs in a video that has gone viral online. The man, a driver at the sanctuary, violated instructions which say only authorised personnel can go near the big cats, park officials told PTI news agency. Cheetahs were declared extinct in India in 1952, the only large mammal to become extinct since the country's independence. They were reintroduced in Kuno in 2022 as part of an ambitious plan to repopulate the species. The incident came to light on Sunday, when a video of the man feeding water to the big cats began circulating online. The footage shows him pouring water into a metal pan after being urged to do so by some people who aren't seen in the video. Moments later, a cheetah named Jwala and her four cubs walk up to the pan and start drinking from it. Officials say it's not uncommon for certain staff members to offer water to big cats if they get close to the boundary of the national park to lure them back into the forest. The mum and her cubs were in the fields close to the boundary, Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests Uttam Kumar Sharma told PTI. "The monitoring team, in general, has been instructed to try to deviate or lure the cheetahs back inside whenever such a situation arises so as not to create human-cheetah conflict," he said However, only trained personnel are allowed to do so and the man's actions went against established protocol, he added. "There are clear instructions to move away from cheetahs. Only authorised persons can go in close proximity to them to perform a specific task," Mr Sharma said. Twenty cheetahs were relocated from South Africa and Namibia to the Kuno national park in the central state of Madhya Pradesh between 2022 and 2023 in what was the first such intercontinental translocation of the big cats. Eight of them have since died due to various reasons, including kidney failure and mating injuries, sparking concerns about whether conditions at Kuno are suitable for them. In 2023, South African and Namibian experts involved with the project wrote to India's Supreme Court, saying they believed that some of these deaths could have been prevented by "better monitoring of animals and more appropriate and timely veterinary care". Park authorities have rejected this and say there are now a total of 26 cheetahs, including 17 in the wild and nine others that are kept in enclosures at the moment. This year, India is expected to receive 20 more cheetahs from South Africa. Officials say the big cats have already been identified by a task force in collaboration with South African authorities.
