Daljit Kaur is back with her new show ‘Kaala Teeka’ but she is in news more for her new avatar than her show. Daljeet lost around 25 kg of weight in last one year. She also talked about how she is no longer in relationship with Shaleen Bhanot, her husband, as a divorce has been filed. In an interview with TOI she talked about the abusive relationship and how she is in a peaceful place now.
On Her Weight Loss
I take life one day at a time. I thought now was the time to get back in shape and I started working towards it. I feel when people are offering me work, they should do it willingly and it should not be under any pressure. I am feeling much more confident now after the weight loss. I didn’t want to give any excuses to my fans that I have gained weight because I delivered a baby. Earlier, I couldn’t do it as I needed money to join a gym and work on myself. But after I started working again, I could afford it. I have really worked hard to lose 25 kg. In fact, I weigh less than I did before my marriage.
On Her Present Diet
I have been following a strict diet since last one year. I have had no roti or rice in this last one year. I exercise regularly without fail.
On Being A Single Mother
I just think about one thing that whenever my son grows-up, he should be proud of me. I sometimes end up shooting for 18 hours a day, but I make sure I give time to my son and exercise. Sometimes, I even go to gym late in the night when my son is asleep. I won’t be modest. It has been very tough and requires a lot of will power. I have been single-handedly taking care of my son. Be it financially or emotionally, I am always there for him. For Jaydon I am his father-mother both.
On Domestic Violence And Her Fight Against It
The only thing I feel sometimes is that I should have spoken up earlier. It would have been worth it. I know I was speaking truth, but I still took a lot of time expressing the pain. It was the most difficult phase of my life. I feel every experience good or bad teaches you something. I have learnt a lot from my bad expereinces. However, I am happy that I met some really good people during the phase. They not only helped me, but also guided me. I am thankful to them, they never let me be alone.
On Her Current Equation With Shaleen Bhanot
All that is not going to happen. I am in a very peaceful space. If not happy or content. No doubt it was a tough phase. I am no more revengeful or have any angst. I am done with that phase. I don’t hold any regrets, grudge or ego. If Shaleen wants to co-exist, I am fine with it. My only priority is my son and his happiness. I am doing all that it needs to be a good single mother. If Shaleen can be a good father to him and can contribute in my son’s upbringing and towards his happiness, I am content. I want my son to grow-up as a happy person. For that if Shaleen wants to meet him for a minute or 10 hours I have no problem. I am ready to co-exist.
More power to you Daljeet and we wish you all the very best to you.
