“I have my own struggles and my own beautiful story to tell”
There are times when I wish a day had more than 24 hours because there’s so much to do. But I will not cut down my roles—as a mother, wife, banker, singer, activist, despite the challenge of time. After my husband became the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and we moved to Mumbai in 2014, life has naturally become busier. Music is my passion and I do riyaaz every day, it helps me de-stress. So far, I’ve sung for around 14 Hindi and Marathi films. Banking is another thing I haven’t neglected despite my social commitments. Even now, I make it a point to go to work (at Axis Bank— where I’ve just completed my service of 14 years). Amidst all this, I am a doting mother. I get her ready for school, ensure that I’m with her during bedtime and look into her homework as well. I believe that destiny doesn’t depend on the shoes you wear but on the steps you take in life. I respect my husband’s position, but I also have my own journey, my own struggles and my own beautiful story to tell.
