She further noted that although these expectations still exist within the industry, the manner in which people demand physical changes has become more refined and sophisticated. Earlier, such demands were made directly, so she used to respond to them just as bluntly. About her experience in TV Surveen recalled her struggling days in the television industry, particularly working with a director on Kahiin Toh Hoga, who used to treat everyone on set like cattle. While she acknowledged that the company backing the project gave her a break, she stated that she does not support the way people were treated, stressing that paying someone for their work does not mean you own them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Surveen also shared that, due to her background in television, she missed out on several film opportunities early in her career because filmmakers considered her 'overexposed.'

I don't experience mom guilt when I am working: Surveen Chawla
Surveen Chawla plunged head-on into work a year after her daughter was born amid the pandemic. The actress never experienced mom guilt for leaving her young one behind because of the 'family support I have, which includes a balanced understanding from my partner too. ' She adds, 'Guilt for what? For keeping my passion first? No, I wouldn't do that and people can see it whichever way. When I'm at work, sometimes I am so engrossed that I barely speak to my daughter. And that's fine because she's fine. She's at home with family members.' Says Surveen about balancing work with being a parent She adds, 'Kids adapt fast to their environment. Besides, when I'm home, I'm 100% with her and work doesn't take away my attention from her.' She adds, 'Managing her has also not been difficult because my husband is very supportive. There's no gender bias about which parent should manage the child in our household. It's like when your partner goes out to work, his line of work could be different, and his timings are different too. While my work functions differently where I'm gone. I'm gone for quite a few days and even when I am shooting in Mumbai traffic that keeps me from reaching home in time to even meet my daughter sometimes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo So, it's hard that way. But I think family your partner's support makes the job much easier and vice versa. I think it's equal responsibility to both parents.' Professionally, Surveen is soaking in the OTT space for now. 'It is no surprise that Bollywood films are not doing well since few years, because they are doubting the intelligence of the audience who's today watching global content.,' she says, adding, 'It is about business, and you can't separate this passion from the business aspect of it. But currently Bollywood is only seeing the business side of it, hence scripts are not up to the mark. They have to be mindful of that because nobody's going to theaters when they have such good content at the push of a button at home. Even I don't remember the last time I saw a good film in the theater.' However, Surveen is also saddened by the censor being levied on digital platforms. 'Strangely, all the burden of morals and preachiness fall upon the film industry, which is so strange. We understand they want to have a system for showcasing age appropriate content, so make a smart interfaces where you can choose age appropriate content only. Find ways being so sensitive. The Indian sentiment in itself is so strong and hard when it comes to politics or religion. I think that kind of takes over creativity and craft and which I think is so unfair,' she says. The actress who also acted in Punjabi films after debuting on TV with shows like, Kahiin Toh Hoga, is currently not eyeing this region's industry. With her last Punjabi film being Hero Naam Yaad Rakhi (2015) with Jimmy Sheirgill, Surveen is not satisfied with the etching of roles for actresses in Punjab. ''Some of the stuff that was coming up was not really up to the mark as far as the kind of work that I'm looking to do,' she says, adding, 'But if ever there film that has a killer's role written for an actress, maybe yes. But so far, I don't know where Punjab is right where women are concerned. That becomes challenging for me. I can work anywhere, and for me it's just my craft. And I would love to do any language whether it's a good Telugu film, or Hindi, Punjabi, but my part has to be exciting and challenging enough. I am not somebody who would want to go on a set which doesn't excite me every morning. And till a female actor's parts are not going to be as good as they are being written for them on OTT, I'm very happy in the web space only.'
