Anita Hassanandani says she would also opt for limited work hours like Deepika Padukone: ‘Every parent wants to work lesser'
Actor Anita Hassanandani is all set to participate in Zee TV's reality show Choriyaan Chali Gaon. On the show, Anita, along with 10 other contestants, will be staying in a village for two and a half months, taking part in rural activities. During a conversation on SCREEN's Dear Me, Anita shared that saying yes to the show was a difficult decision as a mother, as she would deeply miss her son Aarav. She also expressed a wish to work shorter hours, similar to Deepika Padukone's recent request to the makers of Spirit. Talking about challenges that modern parenting comes with, Anita said, 'As parents, we are overprotecting our children. This generation does so much that sometimes I fear that we don't end up with the kids having phobias. I have been wanting to do work hours like Deepika Padukone. Every parent wants to work less so that they can spend more time with their child and watch every phase of them growing up. So, definitely I would look for fewer working hours, having a few days off in the week. Initially, I didn't want to work. Nobody asked me to do it, but I just wanted to be with Aarav every second of my life.'

You can play different characters. But actresses do have a pretty short shelf life. For male actors like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, there is no end to it. On TV, getting back after a break is a problem. The industry is already assuming things after you become a mother. So even before you can say you don't want to work, they assume that you will be busy and you won't take up work. People think that work has taken a backseat and you wouldn't want to get back.' Pointing out that age also plays a crucial role, Anita said you need to be in a position like Alia Bhatt if you want to bounce back smoothly. 'If you are in a position like an Alia Bhatt who delivered a child and in three months she was working on Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, it's different. On TV, it's not so instant, you have to slog and come back out there. You have to be fit again, and also be ready.'

Actor Jackie Shroff's daughter and Tiger Shroff's sister, Krishna Shroff, is all set to participate in Zee TV's upcoming reality show Choriyaan Chali Gaon, an adaptation of the Marathi series Chala Baai Gavat. Krishna will join 11 other female contestants as they spend two and a half months living in a village, adapting to rural life and performing village-based tasks. In a recent conversation with SCREEN, Krishna shared that her father, Jackie Shroff, was the most excited about her taking on the show. She also called out fake reality show personas Sharing how her family reacted to her participation in the show, Krishna shared, 'My dad was so excited when I shared that I was doing this show. He was more excited than he has ever been compared to other projects I have done. This is what he loves. He is excited for me to come back and be able to relate to it. My brother, on the other hand, asked me if I was sure I wanted to do this. He knows the type of person I am. If I decide to do something, I give my best at it. My mom is a bit nervous, not about the experience or concept, but she will miss me. We are best friends at the end of the day, and it's 2 and a half months away, so that's going to be a first.' Also Read: Krishna Shroff opens up about her equation with Disha Patani after her alleged breakup with Tiger Shroff: 'Our relationships are completely different' Krishna Shroff, who was last seen on Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, also explained why she took a year to choose another reality show. She shared, 'It has been a year since I participated in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. Choosing to do these shows has shown me in a whole different light and the many layers I have in my personality. Right now, my audience is niche, because they don't fully know or understand who I am. It was a conscious decision to wait it out. With Khatron Ke Khiladi, it completely fit the brand. With this one, I don't think anything negative can come out of it.' A post shared by Zee TV (@zeetv) 'A lot of reality formats that are out these days force you to become a character that you are truly not. That takes away from the reality aspect. People come with this pre-planned objective. For me, reality is reality,' Krishna added. Lastly, sharing what she plans to do next, Krishna Shroff said, 'I enjoy doing this, but I am a business person, Tiger and I have co-founded an MMA Matrix Gym, which is doing quite well. We have signed 20 franchises pan-India now, including the dance academy that my brother has launched. Just spreading the message of fitness and propagating a healthy lifestyle for the youth is what drives me.'
