In a recent interaction with India Today, Sonam Kapoor spoke about her hiatus from films, which she took right after the birth of her son, Vayu. The diva emphasised that she started working at the age of 17, and continued till 36, so her break was justified by all means. Moreover, the diva mentioned that as a new mom, this crucial period of time was essential for her to bond with her son. Adding how she is all geared up to return to the cinema again, Sonam mentioned:
“I miss cinema and the industry but at the same time, this time was very important for me to bond with my baby, and have time with my family. I started working when I was 17 and took a break when I was 36, so I think I gave enough time. I am ready to come back to work now.”

Sonam recently made her comeback with the crime thriller, Blind which was released on OTT. Moving further in the interview, the actress revealed whether at any point during her hiatus, she felt left out from the buzz of the film world, or even felt forgotten. In her response, Sonam mentioned that in fact it was the industry, as well as her friends and colleagues, who missed her presence. In her words:
“I feel I was really missed, it made me feel very good. Whenever there was an event, or red carpet, I used to get messages from my colleagues and media. Rajkummar Rao and Patralekha had come home to see Vayu and they were asking when I am returning to work. My cousins, who are now in showbiz, also kept calling me and say that they missed me on red carpets. It’s nice to feel missed. I didn’t feel out-of-sight-out-of-mind, I feel missed. I didn’t feel forgotten, let’s say that.”
Concluding the interview, Sonam was asked if she felt guilty about sacrificing out time from her first love of films, and giving it to her family, and especially to her child. Reacting to it, Sonam mentioned that she needed the break, so that she didn’t feel stuck in one place. Moreover, rubbishing any feelings of guilt, Sonam expressed:
“But, that break was important for me to avoid feeling stuck in a rut. I don’t want to regret not spending time with my baby, my family. No woman should feel guilty about giving time to their family.”
