The actress is currently hopping from being a full-time mother to completing her on-going shoots for Mughal-E-Azam. Gurdip in an interview with Bombay Times, talked about how it feels to play a mother to a grown up actor. She had said I have no such qualms. Though the age difference isn’t much, I have worked for more years than Shaheer. People have seen me mature as an actor, so they offer me roles keeping that in mind. Also, this is a historical show and we know that women would get married at an early age back then. It’s a strong character and I am too excited to play the part. I am a mother of two in real life and so, maternal love comes naturally to me. That makes it easier to portray my character with conviction.” (Also Read: 'Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala' Actor Mohit Malik Shares Addite Sold Her Jewellery During Struggling Days)

I have grown with my shows. Characters mature very fast on television and in cinema it is different”. She further said, “In India in films heroines have to romance on screen so they have to be young. When I joined television I got roles where my actors were romancing me on screen. When I started growing my characters also grew. Like in 'Sanjeevani' I got married, in 'Sindoor...' I had a baby, I had older children in Kasamh Se”. (Don't Miss: Karanvir Bohra Shares That Her Daughter, Vienna Cares For Him The Way His Wife Teejay Sidhu Does)
