In the world we live in, it is difficult to have everything our way. Himani seconds that thought. All of us are human and we have a craving to cull out our own individuality [Astitva] in the face of the world, some are able to make it and some aren’t. There are many in the film industry who have not been able to handle the dichotomy that work and personal life put then in. However, Himani asserts that it is a balanced way of working towards goals that matters the most, “My work is my passion, but I cannot have my aspirations overruling my duties. I always try to strike a balance between my work and family. Never has it happened that because of any particular assignment, my responsibilities towards my family has gotten affected and vice versa” She concluded.
