In an interview with the Times of India, Juhi opened up on being a single parent, Samairra’s reaction to their separation and her life after divorce.
She revealed, “Children are very instinctive and they know when something is happening sometimes without you having to spell it out for them. Its been difficult but she's a very mature child and luckily has never really asked too many questions.” When asked was Samairra mentally prepared for the separation of her parents? Juhi stated, “There was no preparation and like I mentioned earlier children are instinctive and understand things very quickly.”

She further spilled the beans on life as a single parent now, "Its got its challenges but for me my life is Samairra. I begin my mornings with her and end my days with her. If I'm at work, I want to know what she's up to, whether she's eaten or not and am probably like every other mother out there worrying about her child,” said Juhi.
When asked, if it is difficult it is to be a single mother, Juhi shared, “Of course it’s not easy! Single Parenting has its own challenges but this has been my reality for the last two years. I get double the love, double the attention and double the responsibilities - it’s a mixed bag at the end of the day. But you would be surprised, God has made us women very strong and I'm blessed to have a great support system in my parents and friends to be able to take on the challenge of single parenting.”
