Anushka Sharma embraced motherhood in 2021 when she and husband Virat Kohli had their first child - daughter Vamika. Since then, the actress has resumed working on her brand commitments and even working out for her sports film Chakda Xpress. In a recent conversation with Harper's Bazaar, Anushka pointed out that she is more than a "rat in a rat race".
Speaking about the work culture in the film industry, Anushka said, "My industry is all about, ‘run, run, run’—it’s a rat race, and you simply have to be part of it. But I’m more than a rat in a rat race. I want to enjoy my life. I enjoy acting in films, I enjoy being in a room full of creative people, discussing ideas, coming up with ways of doing a scene, and thinking about how the audience will react to it. It’s all so pleasurable; I never want to give it up."
Anushka on work-life balance as a mother
However, it is now different for the actress, as she is a mother and work-life balance is of utmost importance. Elaborating on the same, Anushka said, "Striking a work-life balance is certainly harder for women. I don’t think people understand the life and emotions of a working mother, because the world is so male-dominated. Heck, I’m a woman; even I didn’t understand it till I became a mother. Today, I have so much more respect and love for women, and such a strong sense of sisterhood. I’ve always spoken up for women, but to feel love and compassion for the cause makes it so much more powerful."
