00:00So I can't really answer that right now because I'm not, I haven't gotten back to work yet

00:11but I think when I start working on this, I'll be able to give a better answer because

00:17you know, I don't really know how it will be to go back to work after motherhood. I'm

00:22sure there's so many actors who are doing that and beautifully so, right? So I would

00:28love to be inspired by them. But I do feel that when I was pregnant and when I was working

00:34or when I was going to events or red carpets, I did feel judged and trolled. But then it's

00:40people's job to say what they want to say. But I thought there were a lot of people who

00:46were supporting me as well. And there were a lot of people who judge you because simply

00:52because you're pregnant and you should be locked up at home and they think you're

00:57pun intended, not intended. But yeah, I did feel a little bit at that time.

01:06Yeah, I mean, no one asks fathers. They don't expect that you're going to go back to work.

01:13Nobody asks that. But mothers do. See, I understand that somewhere a mother's need

01:20is more than a mother's need. I do get that. I'm not trying to, you know, negate it. But

01:28I feel it should be our choice. If a mother wants to go back to work, then it's perfect.

01:35If she doesn't want to go, then it's perfect. Because I feel that more than a mother, no

01:40one has the best interest of their child. Like more than a mother, right? A mother knows

01:46best. So if a mother feels that yes, I can balance both and my child won't be neglected,

01:52then no problem. And if a mother feels that no, I want to give her full time,

01:57then also no problem. I just feel this is an individual choice and literally both are okay.

02:08No, not yet. And I really hope that I don't have to.

02:17So cute. Now I'm just having a visual of her talking when she starts talking.

02:21She'll be like, well done, mama.

02:28Eating while doing a million things, while feeding, while changing.

02:33Just basically, whenever you get a chance, eat.

02:37It's not off limits, but it's not in the bedroom, like in where my baby is. And even if it is,

02:51then it's without Wi-Fi and I download the thing. So there's not much radiation.

02:56But I've realized that I myself don't feel like watching TV or any of my shows.

03:04So mostly I'm reading when I'm with her or just looking at her face.

03:14Phone, easily. I mean, I can give up both, but I feel if I give up my phone,

03:18I'll get a detox. But I've given up my phone for weeks, many, many times. Whenever I go

03:23to places like Rishikesh and Mysore and when I go for yoga detox, I don't give my phone.

03:32Once I went to Siachen, I didn't have my phone for two weeks.

03:35So I keep doing that. So it's not very difficult for me to give up either.

03:38I'm just someone who's not a very attached person in life.

03:47Who has more patience? Definitely Sonali, the mother.

03:51A hundred percent. No one has more patience than her.

03:54So, Zindagi Milegi Dobara is a very special film, which is also very relatable. Simple

04:05bhi film hai, lekin ek aisa point hit karti hai ki jismein har ek ko dekh ke lagega ki,

04:10oh, yeh shayad mai bhi hoon. Technology se hum sab ghire hui hain and how sometimes it

04:17takes over our lives and is film ka yeh hi ek important message hai ki aap kaise zyada

04:24nature se, reality se connect ho sakte ho, taaki aap technology se thoda sa disconnect

04:29ho jao, jo ki aaj ki zindagi mein almost ek addiction ban chuki hai.

04:39My New Year plans are pretty much in this house because I'm following the 40-day,

04:4445-day rule. Jan dene ke baad mein 45 days tak ghar se bahar nahi jaa rahi hoon. So,

04:51ghar pe manaya jaayega New Year. Resolution, honestly, mai kabhi bhi koi resolution nahi

04:58rakhti hoon because I think mai kaafi disciplined person hoon. Saali resolution chalte rahte

05:04hain. So, I'm okay, but definitely this year I would like to be, I would just like to go

05:09with the flow as a new mother.

05:16Yes, abhi actively I will not resume work kaafi time tak. I don't know kap tak, but like I say,

05:23humare, humare profession mein maternity leave jab tak chahe le sakte hain. So,

05:27mujhe pata nahi mai kap kaam resume karungi, but in terms of mai pehle ke projects, I have

05:33two-three exciting things coming up jinki shoot ho chuki hai. So, which will get released. One is

05:37an OTT show and one is a film. So, I'm really looking forward to that.
