Himani Shivpuri says she 'considered quitting acting' after husband's demise: 'Had no choice but to work'

Veteran actress Himani Shivpuri recently recalled the times when she thought of quitting acting after husband Gyan Shivpuri's death. Talking about the dilemma of choosing between leaving her small child at home or to work for the much needed money, Himani Shivpuri revealed, 'Many times after my husband's unexpected death, I seriously considered quitting acting. I wanted to give up everything because I used to feel bad about leaving my child at home to go to shows as a mother. Because we did not have much money, we had no choice but to work. I recall one event in Kolkata when I breastfed my child on the train.' Adding further, Himani said that she can't 'forget the stress and difficulty of those days' as she had to 'rush to the restroom before performances to express the milk, so the costume didn't get wet.' The actress stressed on the point 'that women rarely have it easy, whether at home or work.' and went on to add how she 'learned to never give up and always stand up against all the odds of life.'
