Recently, in an interview given to Mid-day, Mira shed light on speculations about her Bollywood career, the burden of being a celebrity wife and other issues.

When the interviewer asked why Mira, a home maker, has a PR representative, she said,"I am open to interviews because a lot has been said about me - good and bad - and I thought I should express myself and show them who I really am."

Mira was also quizzed about the puppy-analogy controversy. When asked if she feels that some women don't have a choice like she had, she replied,"I completely understand that. Being a working woman is something to be proud of. I am very proud of being a mother who stays home. And a working mother will be proud of what she does. You can't judge two parents with the same yardstick. All I was trying to say was that I didn't want my child to think she didn't have enough time with me. There is a fine line between being independent and being negligent. Parenthood is a responsibility, and your time is theirs. What I said wasn't meant to hurt anyone. [Her comment] was misconstrued, and I have learnt to be careful with what I say. It's a game of Chinese whispers. I want Misha to have a childhood like other kids. I wish that she is grateful for all she has. I want to be unconditional with my love, but frugal with privileges."

Being a celebrity wife isn't easy. Mira was inquired if she fears being judged as a celebrity wife. Her reply was,"The concept of the star wife is outdated. You can either brush it aside or give it importance. I am a wife, yes, and my husband is a star. If you wish to put the two together, you are going to get a star wife. I love him for who he is; I don't care that he is an actor. It's part of the package. I can't say, I love you, but I don't like your profession. Before I got married, it was easy to say 'this one is like that' or 'so and so is that kind of a person'. Now, being on this side of the fence, it's extremely difficult when I am scrutinised."

Here's how Mira reacted to the rumor of her working in movies

"No. Never. I don't know how that story came up."

When quizzed about her career plans, she said," Yes, I would love to work, especially in a field that is creatively stimulating, but also allows me time with family. Perhaps something with food, or lifestyle."

The interviewer asked if she has a deadline for it? "No, because I am going to have another baby, and then decide.", said Mira.
