MUMBAI: Bollywood and television have consistently showcased women proving their ability to excel in both professional careers and motherhood. From real-life icons like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Mira Rajput to on-screen characters like Rudrani (Rani) from Star Plus’ Pocket Mein Aasmaan, these women embody the spirit of resilience, balance, and success in both worlds.
Kareena Kapoor Khan stands as one of Bollywood’s most iconic examples of a working mother. As a proud mother to Taimur and Jeh, Kareena has been candid about the challenges and joys of balancing her personal and professional life. Despite stereotypes in the entertainment industry about marriage or motherhood limiting opportunities, Kareena has shattered those notions. Supported by her husband, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena has shown that with determination and balance, women can thrive in every role they take on.
Similarly, Alia Bhatt, at the peak of her career, has embraced motherhood with remarkable grace. A hands-on mother to Raha, Alia ensures she dedicates time to her family while pursuing her professional ambitions. Notably, she filmed her Hollywood debut, during her pregnancy, with unwavering support from her husband, Ranbir Kapoor. Alia’s journey reflects that success and nurturing motherhood can coexist.
These women are trailblazers, breaking barriers and rewriting industry stereotypes. Their journeys are a testament to the strength, determination, and resilience of modern women, supported by partners who believe in shared growth and success.
In a similar vein, the character of Rudrani (Rani) in Star Plus’ new show Pocket Mein Aasmaan (played by Abhika Malakar) mirrors these extraordinary women. Rudrani, an expecting mother with dreams of becoming a doctor, chooses to follow her passion for her career, despite the overwhelming responsibility of motherhood. While her husband, a loving and supporting one in his own twisted way, has one condition for her, to have a one track mind and take up only one role; that of a mother or a doctor. But, Rani while being ambitious also is a person who wears her heart on a sleeve. For her choosing was never an option. But how will this be?
Is it just a wishful thinking or will she actually be able to do it all is what creates a good plot for audience to come and see.
Pocket Mein Aasmaan, produced by Boyhood Productions, is a heartfelt narrative about resilience, passion, and breaking barriers. Coming soon on Star Plus, the show promises to inspire viewers with Rani’s story of balancing motherhood and a career while proving that women truly can have it all.
