I learnt to be single-minded in my determination. When I had my first child, I wanted to give up working. He said, ‘Have I given up because I have had a child? Why should you?’ Every woman should be lucky enough to marry a man like Zubin. I don’t know why I gloat about it, but I am lucky. My stability-taking what comes my way with a pinch of salt and a smile-comes from my husband.” (Don't Miss: Srishty Rode Reveals Her 'Happy And Content' Status Post Manish Naggdev's Open Letter Accusing Her)
