New Delhi: Television actor Dipika Kakar, who is all set to become a mother, surprised everyone with the news of deciding to quit acting. But it seems the actor’s comment was misunderstood. The Sasural Simar Ka actor has now clarified that she has no plans to quit acting.
While talking to ETimes, the actor said that she is just on a break and enjoying this phase of her life.
"I just came across this news of me quitting acting as a career. People misunderstood my comments from my previous interview that I've given up acting. So I would just like to clarify there is nothing like that. I have always craved to live a life of a housewife (mujhe humesha se housewife bann na tha). Shoaib would go to office and I would make breakfast for him and take care of the house. But that doesn't mean that I don't want to work ever again. (laughs). Ho sakta hai I won't work for next four-five years or I might soon get offered something very good and I might accept it also. Aisa bhi ho sakta hai that I might feel that I want to give my first four-five years to my kid. All this I can only say when I welcome my baby,” she was quoted as saying by ETimes.
The actress also said that she is on a break as she wants to enjoy her motherhood and be with her child.
"I'm saying this because I'm an old school person and I feel when a baby is born he/she needs their mother (initial years mein Maa ka saath hona zaruri hai). This is how we have seen kids being raised around us. When we would study our moms to wake up early and sit with us. I want to live these moments with my child and enjoy it. That is the phase I want to go through and experience it. When you say that this is the best phase that I'm enjoying right now, you are absolutely right. This life has been my dream," she told ETimes.
The actor in a recent conversation with media, had shared that she doesn’t want to work and live as a ‘housewife and mother.’
“I am enjoying this phase of pregnancy and welcoming our first child. The excitement is on another level. I started working at a very young age and continued for about 10 – 15 years at a stretch. As my pregnancy journey began, I told Shoaib that I don’t want to work and want to quit acting. I want to live a life as a housewife and mother,” Pinkvilla quoted Dipika as saying.
Dipika has worked in Television shows like ‘Sasural Simar Ka’ and ‘Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum’. She was also the winner of Bigg Boss season 12. Shoaib Ibrahim and Dipika got married in 2018 after working together in ‘Sasural Simar Ka’.
Dipika and Shoaib announced their pregnancy in January 2023.
