The 38-year-old, who lives in Dubai with her seven-year-old son Izhaan and juggles multiple roles, including that of businesswoman, speaks to Prajwal Hegde, about her determination to protect Izhaan, and why she doesn\u2019t talk about her divorce. Excerpts:<\/p>\n<p>How has being a single mother changed you? Has it made you more independent?<br \/>I\u2019ve always been an independent woman. I don\u2019t think a certain tag defines who you are as a person or changes your personality. For me, it is about what kind of a mother I am to Izhaan. Am I able to provide him with the best life that I can? The answer to that is that I\u2019m doing my best and I will continue to do that.
