Pankhuri Awasthy reveals she felt extremely guilty on resuming work post-embracing motherhood
In an interview with the ETimes, Pankhuri Awasthy opened up about her feelings on resuming work post-embracing motherhood. She mentioned that although she took up extremely small projects by now, however, she felt guilty while leaving her twins behind and going for shoots. The newbie mommy explained how she thought of taking up proper work only when her kids would be three months old and said:
“I am just taking small projects for now. I am starting out with ads and little home shoots. This was the first time that I stepped out after becoming a mother, for proper shooting for an ad that spanned over three to four days at different locations in Mumbai only. I am not taking up shows right now, although two of them were offered to me, as that was something that I thought I couldn’t manage. I don’t want to be away from my kids for very long as of now. Maybe, I will resume shooting properly, especially for smaller formats, once my kids are three months old.”
