Dimple Kapaida on lack of confidence

Dimple ji might exude a lot of confidence, but there was a time where she had a lack of it. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the veteran actor said, “The fear factor and not being confident has played such a significant role in my life that had I not jumped off (from a decided path). I don’t think I would have ever reached anywhere.”

Dimple ji on daughter Twinkle Khanna and Rinke Khanna’s contribution

The actress insisted that she might have quit working a long time ago, had it not been her daughters. She shared, “Right now, I don’t think I would be working at all. I would just be sitting in the house because, yes, it’s crippling. But my children have been very instrumental in kicking and telling me that I have to go out there and work. They’ve been really pushing me and it has helped.”

Dimple ji revealed an incident when Twinkle went stern to make her realise the importance of her work. She informed, “Once, I told Twinkle, ‘I don’t want to work anymore. It’s too much and my health is going down. There is tension.’ There were questions that why should I look at myself like this on screen now? Why do I need to do it?” and Twinkle just looked at me and said, ‘You need money?’ I said, ‘yes’. She said, ‘Then keep your vanity at home and go to work’. That was it, it was as blunt as that.”
