Take Inspiration from them

Michelle Obama

When former The First Lady was interviewed on how she manages her work-life and motherhood, she replied:

“I tried part time because I thought, I have to figure this out, I have to be able to pick the kids up, and I’ve got to be able to do all this. So I tried part-time. The only thing I discovered from part-time was that you just get paid part-time.

So, I had vowed that if I continued to work, that I would never settle for part-time. I knew what my time and energy were worth.

Balancing a career and happy home life is a ridiculous objective.”

The much loved Bebo recently caused a splash in Veere Di Wedding. She had been filming at the time when she was pregnant. Backed by her producer Rhea Kapoor, Kareena took maternity leave and bounced back at work as soon as her son was born, thereby inspiring many working women.

Kareena maintains her work-life balance very efficiently, always there for her job and also spending substantial time in the gym. She does get help from nannies and has a supportive husband, Saif Ali Khan. But even with the support, how many women are able to do all that she manages in a day?
