Bollywood icon Bhagyashree who made her mark in the film industry with Maine Pyar Kiya tells us that one shouldn't rest on past laurels. Unlike her peers, she made the optimum use of her influence through social media by becoming a crusader for women’s health and well-being. On Mid-day’s third season of Powerful Women, Bhagyashree gets candid about juggling work with motherhood, raising her kids with gender equality as the norm, and more. 

Bhagyashree on balancing work and motherhood 

Bhagyashree admits there are hard days as a mother when you want to achieve your dreams and have responsibilities for your family and kids. Recalling the times she would take her daughter Avantika Dasani on set, Bhagyashree avers, “To strike the balance somewhere, there is no right and wrong. It is a fight that you have to win every day. So you have to put on your armor and go there and do your stuff. I didn't believe in leaving my children with nannies. Though I had my in-laws, I didn't think it was right to expect them to look after a toddler. And I would hate if I were to come back home and someone were to tell me that we are looking after your kids.”
