At the event, Mandira revealed that she was looked at
differently when she had decided to delay her pregnancy due to work
commitments. She said, “Living in Indian society, as a woman you tend to face
several stereotypes. When I decided to delay my pregnancy due to work
commitments, it was the most difficult decision I had to make. I was looked at
differently, and people perceived me as a woman who is career-oriented. You
would think that is a good trait to have, but our society thinks differently of
a married woman. In fact, even after my child was born, I was always divided
between my personal and professional lives.” (ALSO READ: Tusshar Kapoor & Mandira Bedi Talk Cricket Over Juice Shots With Rajeev Khadelwal On Juzz Baatt)
She further added that it was her husband who supported her a lot through this phase and does continue to do so till date. She also added that Raj Kaushal takes care of their son so that she can manage her shoots.
She later concluded saying, “I think my message to every married woman is to believe in yourself and your capabilities, rather than focusing on societal beliefs and norms. My career has made me into the person I am today. I have struggled and carved my niche in the entertainment industry and I feel very proud of it.”
