The Sasural Simar Ka actress clarified that she is not planning to quit acting and she is just on a break to enjoy this beautiful phase of her life. Talking about the same, she said:
"I just came across this news of me quitting acting as a career. People misunderstood my comments from my previous interview that I've given up acting. So I would just like to clarify there is nothing like that. I have always craved to live a life of a housewife. Shoaib would go to office and I would make breakfast for him and take care of the house. But that doesn't mean that I don't want to work ever again."

"I'm saying this because I'm an old school person and I feel when a baby is born he/she needs their mother, initial years mein Maa ka saath hona zaruri hai. This is how we have seen kids being raised around us. When we would study our moms to wake up early and sit with us. I want to live these moments with my child and enjoy it. That is the phase I want to go through and experience it. When you say that this is the best phase that I'm enjoying right now, you are absolutely right. This life has been my dream."
