Lara Dutta On Motherhood: “You Get Taste Of The Reality The Day Your Child Is Born”

Actress Lara Dutta-Bhupathi says motherhood has been her “most fulfilling” role in life.

“I don’t know if there is any such thing as a transition into motherhood. No matter how much you prepare before the child is born, you get (a taste of) the reality the day your child is born,” Lara told IANS.

“However, I also think for me today, it is by far the most fulfilling role that I play in my life, regardless of everything else that I’ve done — and it’s been quite a lot in the last 25 years,” she added.

After winning the Miss Universe crown, Lara navigated her way into Bollywood with projects like “Andaaz”, “No Entry”, “Bhagaam Bhag”, “Housefull” and “Singh Is Bliing”. She ventured into the small screen, too, as judge of a dance reality show.

Lara, who is married to Indian tennis legend Mahesh Bhupathi, has a daughter named Saira.

Opening up about her journey as a mother, the actress said: “For me, there’s a lot that’s learned by trial and error. I genuinely believe that a child teaches you more than you will teach it.
