1. What’s on your to-do list? What are the things you want to do soon?

I want to visit South America. I’ve been to the US many times and always wanted to go to Brazil but never went. I was lucky and traveled a lot. I would also like to start a new business. I created a clothing brand called LoveJen. We grew it as much as we could, and then sold it to a company. Now that I’m interested in organic skincare, maybe I can explore starting a skincare brand. Only after six months have passed will I have more clarity. My skincare mantra is to cleanse, moisturize, and use sunscreen. In the evenings, I apply a thick almond cream to keep my skin from dehydrating.

2. What are your goals for the next 5 years?

I would love to shoot the 4th and 5th seasons of the series in the next 5 years. Bollywood. I would also like to start a new business. I also want to develop more spiritually because this is really important to me. I meditate every day and I also do yoga every day. This helped me a lot in relieving my anxiety. I have a six-minute mantra for Om Nama Shivay that I listen to when I’m not doing yoga.

3. What has been your best travel destination so far?

We had a family tradition of traveling as a family every year; once during summer and once during Ananya and Raysa’s spring or winter holidays. When Raysa turned 10, we went to Kenya and explored Mombasa, Mt Kenya, Masai Mara, East Africa. We did mountains, beaches and safaris. Both of my children love animals and really enjoy seeing them in their natural habitat.

4. What are the top 3 things you generally worry about in life?

I am a “worrier”. So I turned to meditation and spirituality. I worry about my children and their well-being and want them to be happy and safe. Since my parents are also getting older, I worry about them and worry about their health. Then I worry about my close friends and family. I’m the kind of person who worries about the people close to me because if something affects them, it affects me too.

5. Who is your inspiration in life?

I can say that all the women in my life are my inspiration. My grandmother was a single mother and raised and educated my father. He had no money and worked really hard to make it. He also encouraged my mother to work and took care of me and my two sisters. I remember there was always a hot meal waiting for my mother after she returned from work. My mother worked in the administrative department of IBM, and I saw everyone in my family work. My grandmother also motivated my mother to go out on the weekends because she was working all week long. I have seen truly strong women in my life. Even my mother-in-law motivated me a lot.

6. What are some guilty pleasures you enjoy?

My guilty pleasures include red wine and holidays. I really like my holidays to be luxurious. I’d rather take one great vacation a year than four trips. I also like watching television. Chunky and I both really like watching TV.

7. How does it feel to be Ananya Panday’s mother?

Both Chunky and I are incredibly proud of Ananya’s work and the person she has become. He is a kind and compassionate person towards everyone. He also started So Positive for digital advocacy. It is an organization focused on DSR (digital social responsibility). That’s how it started in time, and I’m incredibly proud of its social work.

8. What are some of the TV shows you go to watch?

Right now, Call me bae It’s my favorite TV series and it’s not because I’m biased. I watch the show from wherever I want and it’s pretty fun to watch. I watched it too Wives of Bollywood, Season 2 – bit by bit lately.
