Watch the Full Interview Here:

She Said That Kids Should Actually See Their Mothers' Work as That's How They Will Respect the Fact That Mothers Too Have Dreams and Desires. Nandita Continued, "But over the Year's, I Have Realised That Actually, It Is Fantastic for Children to See Their Mother Work. That Is How They Will Respect the Fact That Mothers Don't Have to Just Take Care of the House. They Also Have Desires, and Dreams and They Are Also Good at So Many Things. They Will Start Seeing Them as Fuller People. That's When They Have Girlfriends and They Interact with Other Girls, They Will See Them as Full People and Not Just 'You Are a Girl So, Therefore, These Are Your Expectations'. Later, I Found out in Standford There Was a Study Done Where They Said That If You Have a Daughter and If She's Seeing a Woman Work, You Are a Role Model for Her. So She Will Grow up with a Lot More Confidence of Doing Work. If You Have a Son Then Don't Worry Because the Son Will Have Better Relationships and Interactions with Other Women When He Grows up Because He's Seen a Stronger Woman, Who's Independent."
