MUMBAI: Juhi Parmar is a hands-on mother to her daughter Samairra. But the actress doesn't take the entire credit of raising Samairra. She credits her parents for always being there for her.

In a media interaction, Juhi talks about her bond with her daughter Samairra and opens up about how she broke the news of her divorce with Sachin Shroff to her. Juhi and Sachin had tied the knot in 2009. They separated after 8 long years of marriage due to compatibility issues.

'Samairra has been a very understanding kid. She has never made me uncomfortable with her questions. I broke the news about my divorce or separation to her a year and a half back, I told her like a fairytale. She understood how princesses live happily ever after. She understood that it is our reality. She knows that she has a single parent and in true sense more than single parenting, we are triple parenting her as my parents stay with me and they look after her. They are available for her as much as I am all the time. She is very attached to nana, nani. I think more than anything it is important for her to know that she is loved by everyone. She is loved by me, her nana, naani, Sachin and by his father's mother. All in all it's important to know that she is loved and it is a very harmonious atmosphere,' she said.

'Samairra knows that she can talk and meet her father anytime she wants. Sachin can meet her anytime he wants. Everything is nice and positive. Sachin and I are great friends now. So, when we all are in a happy space there is no scope of feeling that something is lacking. It's just that there's a situation where things are like this but what matters is we have risen above that situation to live in a happy space. It is a reality and it does not bother Samairra and me any longer. But I would like to add here as a single parent is that when your child comes up with a question don't push it for later or don't tell him/her that it is not their age to know. They will try to get answers to their questions from some other source. I think it is very important that you answer your child's queries especially when it is related to his/her life,' she added.

'I teach Samiraa the value of work, honesty and I always tell her why work is worship because I believe your work always gives you confidence to deal with any challenge in life. In any adversity if you are working you are happy, independent and you are free to make your decision in life without any pressure in life because you are independant. I always teach her to be fearless and never give up in life whether you lose or win,' the actress concluded.
