Former VJ and wife of actor Arshad Warsi
“"I miss making money. Let me put that very honestly. It’s like the kind of money I commanded at one point in time. I took a different route… but I also feel that when I worked and when I was an MTV VJ, there was so much appreciation and I got so much that I was actually satiated."”

“"When I had the kids, I wanted to sit. Today, when I am at home and I’m knocking on teenage doors, I sometimes feel: why am I at home for this? But no, the fact of the matter is that I had a great time."”

“"Many parents, particularly mothers, devote years to caregiving during a phase when their children need them the most. During that time, their identity may gradually become centred around being a parent rather than an individual with personal aspirations, interests, or a professional identity."”

“"Rebuilding that sense of self by reconnecting with work, hobbies, friendships, or personal goals is a healthy and natural part of this life stage."”
