Bharti Singh recently faced criticism for returning to work just 12 days after giving birth, to which she responded that working made her happy and that her child was well-cared for. Psychotherapist Delnna Rrajesh supports Singh's decision, emphasizing that motherhood is not about martyrdom and that a "fulfilled mother is a better mother." According to Rrajesh, forcing a woman to abandon her passions and identity can lead to resentment and burnout, which is not beneficial for the family. She argues that the emotional quality of parenting is more important than the quantity of time spent, and that a mother's happiness directly nourishes her child. The text advocates for redefining "good motherhood" by normalizing choice, creating shared responsibility among all caregivers, and protecting a woman's identity beyond her role as a mother, ultimately asserting that a woman choosing her own emotional health is an act of strength.
