Mandira Bedi: ‘Society Perceived Me Differently When I Chose To Delay My Pregnancy’

Shubanka Sridhar

Mandira Bedi is one of the fittest women out there who proves, time and again, that age is just a number. A mother to the 8-year-old Vir Kaushal, this 47-year-old actress and host is an inspiration to many women out there today who want to be successful entrepreneurs, healthy women and  . But when she chose to concentrate on her work and career post marriage, she says that as a woman, society always judges you for that.

According to an IANS report, Mandira, who is hosting a digital show called Shaadi Fit, said:

Living in Indian society, as a woman you tend to face several stereotypes. When I decided to delay my pregnancy due to work commitments, it was the most difficult decision I had to make. I was looked at differently, and people perceived me as a woman who is career-oriented. You would think that is a good trait to have, but our society thinks differently of a married woman. In fact, even after my child was born, I was always divided between my personal and professional lives.

You go girl! I think this is a wonderful message for all women out there and we will always be inspired by this strong woman!

She also adds that her husband, Raj Kaushal, always supported her and was her only relief during those times. She says that he would take care of their son while she went on shoots and that she is very proud of how she has built her career in the entertainment industry. Mandira is also a fashion designer who has her own line of saris and is rightly one hustler momma!
