In an interview with the Mid-Day, Mandira had opened up on striking the work-life balance and diverting her time to her two kids, Vir and Tara. The actress had shared that she is trying to give more time to her son, Vir, so that he doesn't get jealous of Tara. Mandira had shared, "As a parent, I have had to strike a new balance. Vir told me the other day, "I feel jealous when you tell her, 'good girl'." So, I am now paying him more attention too. I decided to take a few courses on parenting, and they have given me new ways and tools to deal with the change in our lives. I play a game called Secret Box where you put 15 to 20 items in a box, put a timer on, and just be with the child. I do this with both my kids. Vir usually chooses the colour pencils and creates art. Tara goes for the play dough. Nobody else but the child and I are together at this time." (Recommended Read: Dipika Kakkar Gets A Tattoo On Her Forearm For The Love Of Her Life, Shoaib Ibrahim)
