Bhagyashree stepped away from the film industry after her big debut. She spoke about her decision in an interview to NDTV and said, “Just like I played a role in a movie, the role of a mother was a part of my life but is not defined by it. Today, I’m into fitness, nutrition, travelling and if another movie comes along - I’ll do it all over again. I don’t like that either you’re a ‘working woman’ or a ‘stay at home mom’ - why can’t women be 10 different things... why can’t we keep exploring and with every phase, discover a new passion? From actress, to mom, to giving exams on nutrition at this age, I’ve loved every feather on my hat...and there will be plenty more to add to it.”
