In the video, Madhuri was quoted saying, “It’s tough because of the kind of time you guys have to keep. It’s hard because then you are the one who is looking after the kids, taking them to school, getting them back and stuff like that. Also, the timings; you might have something important happening but you are not there, you are in the hospital looking after someone else. Sometimes I might be sick and you have to take care of someone else.”

She continued saying, “It’s hard because then you are the one who is looking after the kids, taking them to school, getting them back and stuff like that.
