Anushka Sharma has embraced motherhood 2021 with her daughter Vamika along with her husband Virat Kohli. The actress is currently getting prepped up for the film Chakda Xpress. That being said, in a recent interview with Harper’s Baazar, she talked about how she is balancing her life.
Talking of the work culture in the industry, Anushka Sharma said, “My industry is all about, ‘run, run, run’—it’s a rat race, and you simply have to be part of it. But I’m more than a rat in a rat race. I want to enjoy my life. I enjoy acting in films, I enjoy being in a room full of creative people, discussing ideas, coming up with ways of doing a scene, and thinking about how the audience will react to it. It’s all so pleasurable; I never want to give it up.”
The actress further talked about balancing work and being a mother, saying, “Striking a work-life balance is certainly harder for women. I don’t think people understand the life and emotions of a working mother, because the world is so male-dominated. Heck, I’m a woman; even I didn’t understand it till I became a mother. Today, I have so much more respect and love for women, and such a strong sense of sisterhood. I’ve always spoken up for women, but to feel love and compassion for the cause makes it so much more powerful.”
The diva further said what women could do at the workplace with more support, saying, “I wish women received more support in their workplaces. While I know many men who are kind and empathetic towards women, the work culture itself can be so tough. I wish we collectively paid more attention to how nurturing a child is important for the world at large. And that is, probably, the complete opposite of our ‘go, go, go’ culture,” As quoted by Pink Villa.
