What is the news?

At the age of 45, raising two small children and at the same time maintaining one’s influence in the world of glamor, as impressive as it sounds, is in reality equally challenging. Neha Dhupia, who has made her mark as a successful actress, outspoken show host and talk-show queen, has proved herself on every front, but has society’s perspective towards a ‘working mother’ changed? Recently he spoke openly on this.

Neha told how difficult it is to be a working mother

NBT Neha said, “Being a working mother is not at all easy and no one understands this pain. I wake up at 5.15 in the morning. Being an actor, I also have to look special. Going to the gym, dropping kids to school and then reaching the set on time. When I reach at 9.15 instead of 9, people start looking at the clock. It is useless to explain my problems, so I bear everything silently.”

“It is every woman’s choice to take a break or return to work.”

Neha said, “Sensitivity is important on the sets. I don’t know why Anushka Sharma or Sonam Kapoor took a break, but if I talk about myself, I shot for the film ‘A Thursday’ when I was 8 months pregnant and the pain started on the sets itself. I returned to the sets of ‘Roadies’ just 43 days after the birth of my daughter. Some women take a break due to medical reasons or by their own choice and we should respect that.”

Managing the house is the most difficult task – Neha

Neha said, “Angad Bedi supports me equally in raising the children. When I am at work, he takes care of everything. We also have great support from parents and employees in our house. According to me, the job of a mother who takes care of the house is the most difficult, because she neither gets salary nor any reward. Out of all the work I do myself, managing the house seems to be the most difficult. It is fortunate that everyone is equal in our house.”

love and marriage

“I am old school when it comes to love and marriage”

Neha also expressed her views on marriage. She said, “The most important thing for marriage is to find the right life partner. Today, there are many reasons for the breakdown of relationships and people also have many options to meet like dating apps, but in the matter of love and marriage, I am a little old-fashioned. I believe that if you find the right person, then the bond of marriage is still very beautiful and marriage should definitely be done.”

Neha-Angad’s journey from marriage to 2 children

Neha married Angad Bedi secretly on May 10, 2018, at a Gurudwara in Delhi. In November 2018, she gave birth to her daughter Mehar. Neha-Angad became parents again in 2021, when their son Gurik was born.
