"I manage time in between my shots on my set to help him with studies. Jaydon has practically grown up on my set and makeup room which was converted into a study and toy room. Time has always been the biggest challenge as a daily soap actress and a single parent. I am proud of the single parenting that I have given him. Whenever I had a break for two scenes, I would take that time to go for his vaccination or parent-teacher meeting. I would wipe out my makeup to look normal amongst other parents and then put it back to resume shoot."

The doting mommy mentioned that her son has grown into a mature and kind gentleman and she's proud of him. She said:
"I was never available for any work party or get-togethers as I would run to be with Jaydon and hope he hadn't slept before I reached. Every single day, I would first send him to school and then rush to shoots. Weekends were tough as I had to go on sets while he stayed home. He is an independent and a grown-up boy now. We video call all the time when I travel. He is a mature, kind, very emotional and gentleman who I am very proud of. He makes me believe in goodness of the world and he is my inspiration to smile through anything and everything because of the truth he holds in his eyes."
