Pooja Bedi said during a conversation with Samir Soni, that she took a decision to quit acting because her ex-husband Farhan Furniturewalla’s family was ‘conservative’.
She said, "My ex-husband (Farhan Furniturewalla) told me, if I was going to get married, I couldn't continue in films because his family is very conservative." Pooja added.
My mother always taught me, ‘Whatever you do, you give it 100 percent or you don’t do it.’ So I was like, ‘Okay, if I am going to be a housewife and a wife, let me be the best possible one.’ So, to me, it was like, ‘Okay, I’ll give up this journey of my life and start a new one,’” she said.
Pooja was seen in several reality shows after her divorce from Farhan in 2003. They have two kids – Omar and Alaya. Alaya made her debut in Bollywood in 2020 with Saif Ali Khan in Jawaani Jaaneman. Pooja shared that despite the separation, they share a great bond today.
Pooja has appeared on Bigg Boss, Nach Baliye, Maa Exchange and Khatron Ke Khiladi. Last year, she was seen in two digital projects.
In Netflix’s Masaba Masaba, she played a therapist, while in Zee5’s Comedy Couple, she played a single mother.
