Diya Aur Baati Hum's Deepika Singh Goyal: I love my child but I am also passionate about acting
Deepika Singh Goyal is set to return to television after a maternity break.
Diya Aur Baati Hum fame Deepika Singh Goyal welcomed a baby boy Soham Goyal in May this year. Now, the talented actor is all set to return to work post maternity break.
Talking about it, Deepika stated to a leading daily, "In the last few months, I have been working out. I started with yoga but that didn’t work for me so I went back to Odissi dance which I love. It has been fun dancing again. It’s very satisfying. I am conscious about my health and want to reduce my weight too."
She further spoke about how she lost her weight which she gained during pregnancy. Deepika said, "I don’t believe in dieting and would rather work out. I didn’t restrict myself from any food due to pregnancy and now feeding my son. I want to be fit and not slim, per se. I feel an actor doesn’t have to be slim or have a certain figure, instead you should be good at your job, which is acting. That is more important."
When asked about getting back to work, she said, "Like every mother, I love my child but I am also passionate about acting. I have always been a working woman and I have a support system at home as my mother-in-law is a big help. She takes care of Soham when I go to workout or step out of the house for any errand. I don’t have to worry about nannies or help which is a boon. That is another reason why I have decided to get back to work. Once I start meeting people, let’s see what offers come my way. One might get lucky and get a good show quickly or you may have to wait for a while. I have just made up my mind about acting soon but not approached anyone yet."
Deepika also spoke about the new chapter in her life that is, motherhood. She concluded by saying, "Motherhood has taught me to go with the flow and never plan things. I have stopped making plans. I enjoy the present and cherish my time with my son. Becoming a mother is a huge transition in life and having accomplished that, I feel blessed."
