Divyanka Tripathi: I keep my partner and my family aware that they are my priority

Divyanka Tripathi is one of the leading Indian television actresses. She has always managed to strike a right balance between her personal and professional life.

The actress believes that it is not easy to keep everything in place. "I have very little time and more responsibilities to handle after marriage. My personal and professional commitments are equally important, so time management is of extreme importance. Playing a protagonist in a daily soap on TV, I’m laden with responsibilities and I give it my undivided attention," she said to a leading Indian daily.

Divyanka further added about how she ensures to give equal attention to both family and work. “A marriage doesn’t run on its own. It needs constant polishing for smooth functioning. I keep my partner and my family aware that they are my priority,’’ Divyanka said.

She further added, "My mind is constantly scheduling and re-scheduling things according to my shoot and my spouse. I plan in advance for holidays so that we all get to spend quality time together. We keep the communication channels open so that’s there little space for confusion.’’

In an interaction with a leading Indian daily, Divyanka was quizzed about when was the first time Vivek admitted his feelings for her. She said, "Ours was more like an arranged match, so initially, we were just trying to know and understand each other. Soon, we realized that our thoughts matched and we were quite compatible. However, neither of us expressed our feelings for each other. Then one day, we went on an outdoor shoot for Ye Hai Mohabbatein. While I was getting ready to shoot, he surprised me with a gift. When I unwrapped it, I saw that it was a beautiful poem that he had written and translated into Hindi. He had framed it beautifully."
