In an old interview, actor Manoj Bajpayee offered a candid glimpse into this everyday tug-of-war.  “I am as ordinary a family person as I can be. I try to do justice to being a husband and being a father. However, I get scolding from my daughter and my wife for being completely focused on my work,” he admitted with honesty that many working professionals might resonate with in a conversation with ETimes/ He went on to describe the dynamics at home, adding, “My daughter and my wife are my bosses at home. I humbly listen to them. I try to follow the rules of the house as much as possible. They dictate my life completely. I love them, and they are my lifelines.” Married to Shabana Raza (Neha Bajpayee) and father to Ava Nayla, Manoj’s reflections highlight a universal struggle: trying to be fully present both at work and at home without one …

Pankaj Tripathi’s maiden production Perfect Family is now streaming on YouTube. The show revolves around a dysfunctional three-generation family warming up to the idea of family therapy. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, real-life actor couple Manoj Pahwa and Seema Pahwa, and Neha Dhupia discuss the show, their changing views on therapy, and belonging to a family of actors. Neha: Saying it’s an oxymoron is taking it too far. But a perfect family definitely exists on Instagram, no matter how much kalesh has gone into even taking that ‘perfect’ photo. It’s usually a taboo but whenever I discuss my family issues with my friends, and that one odd person turns around and says, ‘Mere ghar mein bhi aisa hi hota hai (This also happens at my home),’ I don’t know why but that’s very reassuring.” Seema: Every family tries to be perfect, but I think you can put a percentage to it. Are we 40%, 60% or 80% perfect as a family? Because 100% is not possible. Neha: It also depends on what perfection means …

Marriage often brings a sense of security, companionship, and shared goals, but it can also make it easy to slip into comfort zones that dampen personal growth. Actor Amrita Singh’s reflections on her marriage to Saif Ali Khan highlight this dynamic. In an old interview with television host Pooja Bedi, she shared, “I became lazy and complacent after marriage. Someone told me that women have this great urge to nest and I started looking like a fat ostrich in a nest. I was just happy and living in my la la land.” Her words are a reminder of how marriage can sometimes lead us to become complacent, overlooking personal growth in favour of comfort. For Singh, insecurities crept in as she adapted to life as a “star wife” with the added challenge of dealing with her husband’s high-profile career. She noted that “being a star wife, the insecurities are unhealthy. They can damage your mind.” While she didn’t let these feelings linger for too long, Singh admits they impacted her mindset, shedding light on how …
