While speaking about Palak, Shweta said, “My daughter, Palak is very tomboyish and when I return home after the shoot she is in dirty hair and dirty clothes with a simple rubber band to tie her hair. At times, I get irritated that she doesn't maintain herself but then I don't go after her since I am not at home all day and I get only 2-3 hours with her and if I trouble her then she will run away from me so even as I am talking to her I get her to wear good, fresh clothes, apply cream, comb her hair. I think it is very important for mothers to stay at home with kids especially daughters because they don't know how to take care of themselves otherwise. I think I am a very careless mom because I shoot for almost 16 hours a day and reach home at odd times”.
Though Shweta is working round the clock only to give her daughter a bright future but she regrets the fact of not being able to give her the desired time. She in fact feels guilty over the same. She says, “I have lots of guilt feelings especially when she gets hurt or wants me, needs me to be with her and I cannot reach there at that time. I cannot go to her school when they call me because I am a single parent and working too, so I tell my mom or brother to go, however, Palak doesn't crib much but I know somewhere that she wants me to be there for her”. Stating what type of a mother she is, Shweta said, “I am strict and punish her too”.
