Our working moms can relate to this - managing to balance a high-pressure career and still be there for their child? And you will be surprised to know it’s not just us but celebrities like Ekta Kapoor going through it. Exta Kapoor is one of India’s most successful TV and film producers. Recently, she shared hr thoughts on balancing career and motherhood.

She said something simple but powerful: “I’m not a helicopter mom.”

What does that mean? Well, a helicopter mom is someone who hovers over their child all the time, controlling everything they do. Ektaa says she does not do that. She believes in letting her child explore, make mistakes and learn. And while all this goes on, what matters is being there for your child.

Balancing Work and Family

Ektaa runs a huge media empire. Her days are long. She has too many responsibilities with tight deadlines. Yet, she manages to make time for her child.

She says it’s not about being perfect. It’s about quality over quantity. Even if she cannot spend every minute with her child, she makes the moments count.

Learning From Her Own Childhood

Ektaa also shares that her own upbringing shaped the way she parents. She believes children grow best when they are allowed to figure things out on their own, of course under the guidance of parents.

So, she steps back when she can and steps in when needed.

Breaking Stereotypes About Working Moms

Many people think that women cannot have both a career and be good mothers. Ektaa proves this wrong. She admits that it is not easy every time. Sometimes there is guilt. But she also shows that you don’t have to be perfect to be a good parent.

It is okay to make mistakes. It is okay if you are not able to be there 24/7. The only thing that matters is your love for your little one.

Being a helicopter mom is not wrong. It’s just that there are some downsides. Sometimes it can make children dependent and anxious when we give them space, they grow up to be more confident and capable children.

Ektaa shows that you can be a loving parent without controlling every detail.
