Mandira Bedi Makes Some Tough Choices After Marriage

Powerful women are often summed up by hackneyed stereotypes that undermine them and their power. Even after proving themselves at every point, they are still typecasttoday. Smashing down such labels and more, popular actress and fitness freak MandiraBedi took charge of her life very early on. Living her dream of becoming an actress and getting married to the person she loves, she has always made her own decisions and been very headstrong about them. As a woman in India, stereotypes towards her were very inevitable and she gracefully overcame them.

One of the many tough decisions MandiraBedi has had to make in her life is choosing her career over becoming a mother after marriage. Overthrowing any prejudices, labels and making the toughest commitment, she delayed her motherhood for 12 years because of her professional commitmentsat the time.

Commenting on it further, Mandira says,“My career has made me into the person I am today. I have struggled and carved my niche in the entertainment industry and I feel very proud of it. Living in an Indian society, as a woman you tend to face several stereotypes. When I decided to delay my pregnancy due to work commitments that 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 life. My only relief was my husband who supported me a lot through this phase and does till date. He takes care of our son so that I can manage my shoots. I think my only message to every married woman out there is to believe in herself and her capabilities, rather than focusing on societal beliefs and norms.”
