Yami Gautam on Balancing Work and Motherhood
How Yami Gautam battles ‘mom guilt’ and 5 AM flights to be present with son: ‘Cruel and harsh with a baby that age’ · indianexpress.com

Yami Gautam is a Bollywood actor who recently talked about how hard it is to be a working mom.

She said that when she was shooting for a movie called 'Haq', she wanted to bring her baby with her.

But her husband, Aditya, told her to check the conditions first.

When she got there, she saw that the shooting location was far away and not a good place for a baby.

She felt bad about leaving her child at home and missing important moments in his life.

Many moms, including actors, feel this way when they have to work and leave their kids.

It's called 'mom guilt', and it's really tough to handle.

Quotes

Yami Gautam

Bollywood actress and mother

“When I was shooting, even for Haq, he was supposed to travel with me, and everything was ready. But Aditya said, 'You go there and see for yourself if it’s the right condition for us to be there'. I landed there and realised every day my shoot location would be two hours, one side, away from the lodging, and the shooting would be in interior locations, which is cruel and harsh with a baby that age.”
