Yami Gautam on Balancing Work and Motherhood
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.
Yami Gautam discussed the challenges of being a working mother in the film industry.
She wanted to bring her baby to the shoot for 'Haq' but found the conditions unsuitable.
The shoot location was two hours away and in harsh, interior areas.
She experienced 'mom guilt' for missing out on her child's key moments.
The interview was conducted by Karishma Mehta for Humans of Bombay.
