Manasi is presently basking in the glory of the movie`s success and is also excited for another release. Besides an actress, she is also a mother to a girl child, which is why she has been spending a good deal of time away from her daughter Nirvi. Talking about ‘mom guilt’, Manasi confesses, “I think guilt is a constant condition for most working mothers. I also deal with it the way most women deal with it. In the sense, I am guilty on some days when I can`t give Nirvi enough time, but then, I make up for it by being with her all the time whenever I`m free. I think I have come to realize that children; when they see their parents working hard, they see their mothers working hard, they become independent, smart, self-reliant & they become very supportive & Nirvi has been like that.`

She adds, “Whenever I`m traveling, I have family that steps in, Either Parthiv is around or I have my cousin sister who comes over and stays. Over the weekends, she goes to my Mom`s house. Nirvi comes for my premieres and she also travels with me. But, when I refuse, she understands. So, I see this as positive thing for her growing up to be an independent individual”.
