\nIt seems marriage has changed you. You look more beautiful, what is the secret?
\nThank you dear. First of all, it is God that has made me beautiful. I know and I am sure that it\u2019s Him. Secondly, I don\u2019t go out much. So, it\u2019s peace of mind, nothing much and no secret really.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re one of the actresses that people loved to watch in those days. Your fans would like to know why you have been off the screen for so long?<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not so much silence because I want it to be so, but the fact that I am focused more on the family front, which I feel is more important. For all these years, I am grateful for the time that I have spent with my family, and continue to spend. I have devoted my time to my children for some time now. So, right now, I am coming back to work. My absence all these years has been because of my family.<\/p>\n

\ufffc<\/p>\n

There is this rumour that your husband stopped you from acting. Is there any atom of truth in that?
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, I got married in 2005 and I acted till 2011. The last time I did a movie was in 2011 and my husband never stopped me. So, I wonder why he would stop me in the middle of the way. My husband actually encourages my work, even in my going back now by the grace of God. It is still him that is pushing me and he will always spur me to do greater things, not just the normal thing we know of. So, he never stopped me, I stopped myself because I needed to dedicate more time to my children. My last house girl left as at the time I decided to stay home and I decided not to get another one. I practically had to become the house girl.<\/p>\n
