Tanishaa Wishes Their Mum Was Not A Working Woman, Says 'Give The First 5 Years To Your Child'
In a recent interaction, Tanishaa, one of Tanuja's daughters, spoke about wishing that her mother was not a working woman.
Veteran actress and mother of kajol Devgn and Tanishaa tanuja is known for many roles and iconic performances. The actress has previously shared on many occasions that she did not take up acting because she wanted to, but because she had to. It was because of a financial crisis in the family that tanuja had to work to support her family.
The struggle in the family continued as tanuja and her husband Shomu Mukherjee separated and she had to look after her two daughters-Kajol and Tanishaa. In a recent interaction, Tanishaa, one of Tanuja's daughters, spoke about wishing that her mother was not a working woman.
Why Tanishaa wishes her mother was not a working woman
She also insisted that a woman should not work for at least five years after she has children. In an interaction with Hautterfly, the actress said, "I would say my mom was a working woman, but I wish she wasn’t. When I was born, my mother had to work to support our family. We didn’t have enough money then. My mom used to work at least two to three shifts every day. I would never meet my mother but I would still sleep in her room to feel closer to her.”
Only a mother can raise their child'
Adding that 'only a mother' can raise a child and no one else can give the child what they need, she said, "I just feel that women should be home with their children because only a mother can teach the child, bring up the child and give the child the nurturing the child needs. Only a mother can do this. You can’t get this from your school, or nanny, or maid. I am not very big on ‘leave your child and go to work."
“I strongly feel that if you want to have a child, give that child the first five years of your life. Then do whatever you want. I am very clingy with my mom. It is because of the feeling of being left, so whenever I had her around me, I wouldn’t leave her alone. I still cling to my mummy,” Tanishaa added.
Earlier, in an interaction with SCREEN, Tanishaa shared that tanuja was a 'working single mother'. “It’s not easy for single mothers. They have to put food on the table and they have to take care of the baby. Luckily, for her, we lived in a joint family. We were brought up by our grandmother and great-grandmother, So we had three generations bringing us up," she had said.
