Many Bollywood actors gave up studies to enter the film industry but actress Chitrangada Singh says she won’t propagate the circumstances in which those stars took that decision.
“There are different circumstances ... not something that I would propagate or set as an example ... education is extremely important. It’s your buffer for the rest of your life.
“Sometimes, things happen and you don’t get the time to do what you should do otherwise. It’s not just the [acting] industry, you see a lot of industrialists too,” the Inkaar star said during a telephonic interview from Jaipur, where she paid a visit to teach children at the P&G Shiksha School.
“Education gives you another perspective and opens up your mind. You become intellectually more stimulated. It makes you more eager and anxious to learn and grow. And that is something you bring as an actor on screen as well,” she said.
Singh, who has a five-year-old son, Zorawar, with golfer husband Jyoti Randhawa, said: “If parents are not sitting and watching TV all day or working on computers and go out and do something, kids will follow the same. We go fishing, sky diving, swimming or indulge in different kinds of sports.”
