Deepika Kakkar Ibrahim, who is eagerly preparing for motherhood and is expecting her first child in July, was surprised by the spread of rumors about her exit from the acting industry. However, in a recent interview, she clarified that she has no intention of quitting acting and is currently taking a break from her career. Deepika insisted that her temporary hiatus is solely to focus on her upcoming role as a mother and not a permanent exit from the acting industry.
Speaking to ETimes, the Sasural Simar Ka actress said, “I just got this news of quitting acting as a career. People misunderstood my comments from my last interview that I have quit acting. So I would like to clarify there.” This is not right. I have always longed to live the life of a housewife. Shoaib used to go to office and I used to cook breakfast for him and take care of the house. That I never want to work again. (laughs). I may not work for the next four-five years or I may get some very good offer very soon and I may accept it. It may also happen that I feel that I want to give my first four-five years to my child. I can say all this only when I welcome my child.”
She said, “I am saying this because I am an old school person and I feel that when a child is born it needs its mother (mother’s company is essential in the initial years). Like we have seen children. Growing up around us. When we would study our mothers to get up early and sit with us. I want to live these moments with my child and enjoy it. That’s it That is the phase I want to go through and experience it. You are absolutely right when you say this is the best phase I am enjoying right now. This life has been my dream.”
Let us tell you that the actress tied the knot with her Sasural Simar Ka co-star Shoaib Ibrahim in 2018 and announced her pregnancy last year. She is currently in her third trimester of pregnancy.
