Had no fondness for children, would find them as nuisance: Juhi Chawla

Juhi Chawla and Jai Mehta are blessed with two children - Jahnavi Mehta and Arjun Mehta. The kids are all grown up and make a rare appearance on the actor's social media pages. However, during a recent interview, Juhi opened up about initially she had no fondness for children and found them as a nuisance. Earlier during the shoot of Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke, the actor was surrounded by children and after embracing motherhood her way of looking at them changed differently.

Talking about having children, Juhi told Pinkvilla, "Frankly, before I had kids, despite doing films like Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke, I had no fondness for children. I would find them as a nuisance. (laughs) But I started looking at children differently once I turned into a mother.  It changed me."

When quizzed about juggling between work and personal life, Chawla went on to say, "There is nothing like a perfect parent. I know my parents were also working and I hope my children also see it that way. I don't see any problem with that. From my side, I always try my shooting schedule is in Mumbai, or if I am going outstation, someone is there at home, so that they are never left alone. Sometimes when I used to go, the mother-in-law or sister-in-law would take care."

She added, "I would also make sure that the shooting schedule outdoors is not more than ten days at a stretch so that I could visit my kids and see them. It is not like they wanted me to come but it was me. So, you always try to juggle and balance, and mostly, somebody helps you and things happen when you believe in it. It might not be perfect, it is never perfect but you do your best."
