Bollywood actress Lara Dutta feels that gone are the days when actresses’ career hit dead end once they became mothers. She says she will sign a film in a few days.
“I will be signing my next film in two-three days. It will be an easy role for me to jump back to. My own production will be later,” Lara told reporters Tuesday here at the launch of her DVD – Parental Yoga With Lara Dutta.
Lara, who wed ace tennis player Mahesh Bhupati in 2011, gave birth to her daugther Saira in January this year.
“So many actresses have become mothers. They have all taken their time to come back. So, I think this is an outdated concept that if someone has become a mother, so she will sit at home. I can’t wait to come back,” she said.
She says that she is enjoying her motherhood. “The love for your child becomes so unconditional that the reality of who you really are becomes very clear to you because that is totally reflected in your child. That kind of unconditional love, which you experience, makes you very vulnerable. It also makes you aware of the world and everything which surrounds it,” she said.
“She is totally using and abusing me and I am very happy about it. She is wonderful and is a lovely little girl. She is a joy to be around and I am thoroughly enjoying it,” added the 34-year-old.
She was speaking at the launch of her DVD – Parental Yoga With Lara Dutta.
Lara and Mahesh Bhupati’s daughter was born Jan 20. She also informed reporters that she had a caesarean section baby.
“I had a C-section because of the way Saira was placed. I think I have got back pretty quickly, considering it has been just three months,” Lara said.
“My film choices are obviously going to be dictated by Saira’s welfare. I am not going to do films which would require me to stay on the sets from morning to night or for multiple days in a row. So, I will pick my choices very carefully. I am excited with what’s coming my way already,” said the 34-year-old.
Lara informed the reporters that she would think about her next production venture in the second half of the year.
