 For many actors that turn celebrity and hit the stardom, managing fame and striking work-life balance is one of the toughest challenges. No one else but Sridevi can be a guiding figure to those struck hard by fame.  After marrying Boney Kapoor in 1996 and giving birth to her two daughters Jahnvi and Khushi, Sridevi took a sabbatical and took over the role of a responsible parent who is always there to care and provide for the children.

 

Being ambitious is good, but one must not get carried away and detach from reality. Being grounded and following your goals without putting personal life at stake is a lesson everyone should learn. Courses like Sikkim Manipal University Distance MBA can help you get back to professional career while attending to personal priorities.
