Bollywood icon Bhagyashree, who rose to fame with Maine Pyar Kiya, emphasized that one shouldn't rest on past laurels. Unlike many of her peers, she has made the most of her influence through social media, becoming an advocate for women’s health and well-being. In the third season of Mid-Day’s Powerful Women, Bhagyashree opened up about balancing work with motherhood, raising her children with gender equality as a core value, and more.
Bhagyashree acknowledged that being a mother can be challenging, especially when you're trying to pursue your dreams while also managing responsibilities at home with your family and kids. Reflecting on the times she would bring her daughter, Avantika Dasani, to the set, Bhagyashree stated, “To strike the balance somewhere, there is no right and wrong. It is a fight that you have to win every day. So you have to put on your armor and go there and do your stuff. I didn't believe in leaving my children with nannies. Though I had my in-laws, I didn't think it was right to expect them to look after a toddler. And I would hate if I were to come back home and someone were to tell me that we are looking after your kids.”
She added, “It was tough when I was doing that. But the beauty of the situation was that I was enjoying both. I didn't want to leave being a mother to her. I think I was more capable at that age than I was when Abhimanyu was born. I was far too young to manage both worlds.”
Bhagyashree believes that gender equality starts at home. She said, “Household tasks have to be shared by both. Brother has come, he is very tired, give him water. No, that doesn't work. Both of them are equipped to cook food for themselves. Because they used to say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I also feel it works the opposite way. I feel that when you bring up your children as rounded human beings it gives them a chance to interact with complete equality.”
