In another interview, when she was asked how a woman who ran away from her house to do films can simply step away from the industry one day, she said, “Because her husband tells her he does not want her to act. I also feel that if my parents were not so strict, I would have not gravitated towards films. I was a rebel.”
She added, “I think I just had this mad, passionate, crazy idea of love. So, when my husband said don’t act, I said, ‘Okay’. So, it wasn’t so important. It’s not like somebody held a gun at my head and said, ‘You can’t do.’ I was so in my world, it did not matter. That’s what I wanted. I wanted marriage, I wanted kids and I wanted a family and I never thought…”
