I think the biggest challenge of being a single parent is dealing with the guilt of not being able to be with your child as much as you would want to. Maintaining a work-life balance gets difficult but I am grateful to my parents who have been there and taken care of my daughter when I am not around.”

I want to set an example for her so that when she grows up, she can confidently say that she is proud of her mother. Sachin and I are good friends and have been cordial. We have moved on believe not to carry any grudges or have any animosity. We are all in a happy space where our daughter doesn’t feel any vacuum. Samairra is absolutely free to meet and talk to her father whenever she wants to and vice-versa also. I believe a divorce happens between a couple and not parents.” (Also Read: Sushmita Sen's BF Rohman Shawl Turning Fitness Trainer For Daughters Renee And Alisah Is Major Goals)
