Speaking about why the relationship didn’t progress into a shared life, she said, “It wasn’t practical. Either I would have had to leave behind my job and go to the West Indies, or he would have had to give up his career and come to India; neither of which was possible.”  Speaking to Shubhankar Mishra, she also explained why she chose not to take financial support while raising her daughter: “I didn’t feel like it. I had so much pride. I never even asked my parents for money. I accepted only what they offered, particularly since they were already opposed to my becoming an actor.

When former Tennis player Sania Mirza asked her about the one thing she can’t start her day without on her YouTube podcast, her immediate response was, “I do this 12-minute breathwork. I have to do it. Otherwise, I don’t feel awake.
