Renuka Shahane Opens Up On Career Break For Motherhood | NDTV Exclusive

In an interview with NDTV, actor-director Renuka Shahane spoke about her latest project—Loop Line, an animated Marathi film she has directed—which explores the quiet despair of women trapped in cycles of domestic abuse and emotional hardship, with no visible escape. She also addressed the unrealistic expectations society places on women, especially when it comes to balancing motherhood and career. Shahane revealed that when she chose to take a break from acting to be a stay-at-home mom, it was her husband, actor Ashutosh Rana, who unfairly faced the backlash.
