Question: How do you manage your personal life and professional life?
Answer: Hmmm… Well not sure … I mean that’s a question I ask myself quite often. Am I managing it all right? Am I faring well? I can’t tell you I have got it l all sorted because the truth is- I go to work, I miss the kids and when I am with kids I miss work! Actually, I hate the thought of my boys being neglected! I am trying to collect as much memory as possible with them before they fly off the nest!
Question: Do you think working life after having kids changes? Is there any drawback?
Answer: So much has changed earlier when I was with my parents I had a brief 18months of screen life but was totally carefree! Or even after getting married I took all kind of work -took as many projects possible knowing all is set at home! I have a tremendously supportive husband- so never had to think twice before committing. But after kids I have been working around their schedule. It becomes extremely difficult as you are in a catch22 situation. You want to avoid long commitments but that’s the least you can do for a meaty role.
I am no AB, production houses won’t (and should not) cater to such needs! So I am taking it easy and hoping to bag small yet impactful pieces.
Drawback: Having kids can’t be categorised under “drawback “never – it’s a blessing — yes may be a bit challenging but not a drawback at all! I have started looking at the world different! They have brought in so many shades. I have so much to explore as an actor now.
Question: What keeps you calm in the chaotic schedule?
Answer: Hahahaah I am anything but calm. I am known as Mrs RedBull — I got no chill! I am always at the go! Still to answer your question I think my little one has a magic hug – it instantly takes me to a meditative state! My Zen!
Question: What’s your fitness manta?
Answer: Love walking. Love dancing. Started asana at the age of 8-9. Was quiet all right with flat and hurdle races- joined karate later which I enjoyed thoroughly! I love doing weights not good with diets so I depend completely on my workout routine to remain healthy.
How you prioritise your personal and professional life?
The truth is I have given my boys precedence over everything, so, every mother knows the maid situation they often don’t turn up or extend their chhuttis.
Quite a few times I had to take them along with me for outdoors but that wasn’t right for them so also since the time Wolfie came in I have become extremely choosy with my work.
