“Being
A
Single
Parent
Is
Definitely
Tough”
The
actress
told
Spotboye,
"Being
a
single
parent
is
definitely
tough,
but
the
child
loves
you
doubly
and
that
keeps
you
going.
Frankly,
I
have
been
a
single
parent
since
the
last
2
years.
Every
day
is
challenging,
but
it
has
been
made
easy
by
primarily
by
my
sister,
parents
and
friend
Aashka
Goradia.
They
have
been
pillars
of
strength
in
my
hard
times."
Her
Parents
Changed
Their
Lives
For
Her
&
Samira
She
added
that
her
parents
changed
their
lives
for
her
and
Samaira.
She
revealed,
"They
changed
their
lives
for
me
and
Samaira.
They
said,
'Juhi,
you
go
out
to
work
and
we'll
look
after
your
child'.
That's
how
I
started
shooting
for
Shani."
Did
Samaira
Ask
About
Her
Father
When
He
Used
To
Disappear?
When
asked
whether
Samaira
asked
about
her
father
(Sachin)
as
he
used
to
leave
them
and
disappear
for
months,
she
said,
"These
are
obvious
questions
that
any
child
would
ask
in
such
circumstances,
but
a
large
percentage
of
her
questions
were
only
based
on
'Mummy
kab
aayegi
shoot
se?'
I
guess
till
a
certain
point
in
his/her
life,
every
child
is
more
attached
to
his/her
mother."
She
adds
that
she
was
not
worried
about
divorce
proceedings
as
they
had
decided
from
day
one
that
Samaira
will
be
with
her.
Most
Challenging
Part
About
Being
A
Single
Parent
While
talking
to
Pinkvilla,
the
actress
revealed
the
most
challenging
part
about
being
a
single
parent,
she
said
"Well,
there
are
times
when
my
daughter
doesn't
want
me
to
go
off
to
shoot
and
would
rather
have
me
at
home
with
her.
I've
heard
her
crying
that
'mommy
don't
go' but
I've
had
to
leave
for
work.
I
want
my
daughter
to
see
her
mother
as
an
independent
woman
and
someday
become
one
herself."
For
Juhi,
Samaira
Comes
First
When
asked
as
to
how
she
makes
sure
that
she
spends
quality
time
with
Samaira,
the
actress
says
that
she
is
a
mother
first
and
an
actress
next.
She
adds,
"For
me
Samiarra
comes
first.
She's
a
happy
child
who
loves
playing
dress
up
as
Elsa
(from
Frozen)
or
there
are
times
when
we
will
watch
a
cartoon
film
together,
sing
songs
and
do
everything
and
anything
that
makes
her
happy."
