On balancing a career with motherhood & help from hubby
“My thoughts are that it’s never going to be an either/ or. I feel like my work is my saving grace and coming home to my daughter is the most beautiful thing I can do. There are times when you need to have a cut off point. And I don’t think my daughter, when she grows up, would be proud of any other quality of mine except that, yes, I have a mother who is independent and a working mom and she would be proud of the fact that I did these things so that it would give me and her a great life.”
Neha is also all praise for hubby Angad Bedi and his constant support. “Having said that I’m not going to take away from the fact that that’s where fathers need to come in as well. I have a great support system in my husband. He understands what being a new parent is, he understands what being an actor is and not having a schedule or a routine and being on call all the time, and at the same time being a doting father. So yes, it’s a great balance. There were times when I would feed her, and he would burp her and then breastfeeding also gives you the munchies so he would know, that I would be 20 minutes into my feed with Mehr and that in 25 minutes a snack should be ready!”
“It’s a great journey and it is a very lonely, dark and isolated place if you make it that. There were times when I felt like that and he tapped into it and if we had to feed her and if I was expressing milk, he was thawing a packet of frozen breast milk. So he was always there. We were in it together.” says husband Angad Bedi is a huge support
