Reflecting on her own journey, Amrita has oncr candidly shared about her hiatus from films post-divorce with Saif Ali Khan, emphasizing her desire to shield her children from undue influence.

Discussing her experiences with Pooja Bedi, Amrita underscored the importance of swiftly overcoming challenges to prevent her children from perceiving her as a defeated parent. Emphasizing the need to stay resilient and proactive, she highlighted her determination not to succumb to her circumstances and set a positive example for her children.

“I had to overcome everything I was going through very fast because I didn’t want my children to grow up feeling that they were left with loser parent. That you know I just stayed at home and just mulled over my situation and you know just stayed fat and complacent and unhappy because of my circumstances. I didn’t want my children to grow up learning to be you know defeated in life by a situation,” she shared.

In a separate interview with ETimes, Sara Ali Khan had reflected on the impact of being raised by a single mother, acknowledging the lesson of self-reliance imparted at a young age. She emphasized the necessity of taking charge of one’s own destiny and not waiting for opportunities to come knocking. Sara stated, “I think living with a single mother has a huge role to play in it. At a very early age, I realised koi aapke liye kuchh karne nahi wala (nobody is going to do anything for you). It’s not that I don’t get help, I do. But ultimately, you are the mover and initiator of your life. If you are lucky, stars align and God wills, then it will happen. You can’t be waiting around for things to happen, it doesn’t work like that.”

Amrita Singh, known for her debut in Betaab alongside Sunny Deol, staged a remarkable comeback post-separation with a string of diverse roles in films like Shootout at Lokhandwala, 2 States, Hindi Medium and more.
