Veteran actress Neena Gupta opened up about the delicate balance she maintains between her professional commitments and personal life.

She mentioned that life has come full circle as she embraces this new chapter with joy and grace. Speaking to IANS, the ‘Uunchai’ actress spoke about how her priorities have shifted over the years.

Despite her busy schedule, she makes it a point to carve out time to play with the little one, describing life as a constant act of balancing. “The circle is repeating. Earlier, I had to balance between my work and Masaba. Now, I am in a hurry to come home so that I can somehow get to see and play with my granddaughter, Matara. I try to make time to play with her — now I have to balance that. Life is always a game of balance. We are always doing that. I am enjoying it.”
