"His giggle or smile fills me with energy and keeps me going all day, even when I'm actually exhausted," she explains, adding, "Happy moms keep their children happy. You must look after yourself, so that when your child needs you, you can be there. I am up and about with Riaan when he's awake, playing and talking to him, which I think helps."

The actor says that while she is a hands-on mother, actor-husband Riteish Deshmukh has also been playing his role of a father perfectly. "He's fantastic with the baby, and he changes diapers too. Waking up in the night and putting a baby to sleep is more of a mother's job, but if I need Riteish to do it, I'm sure he would," says Genelia.

The actor, who took a break post her wedding in 2012, denies that the move stemmed from her decision to marry into a political family. "Riteish has always maintained that I can do what I want to. I had been working for 12 years without a break, so post the wedding, I was just enjoying myself. I'm ready to work now, but I haven't got any offers yet," she says.
