Sacrificing Career over Managing Home: Is It a Right Decision?


In the fast pace world, every one,be it a male or female, is running in the rat race to earn his/her livelihood and to lead a lavish lifestyle. Long before, the scenario was that husband used to work and female look after her family. But, with the changing times women have also become ambitious and do not want to put their careers at back stage even after getting married.

Of late, most of the women prefer taking short sabbatical of 1-2 months at the time of marriage and want to rejoin their offices as soon as possible. But, there are some prestigious women personalities who value family more than career. They are happy after giving up their careers and feel proud to be called as homemakers. Let’s take a closer look at them.
 
Anjali Tendulkar- Born on 10 Novembor 1967, a paedictrician by profession, Anjali Tendulkar has tied her nuptial knot with Sachin Tendulkar in 1995. She gave up her promising career to take care of her family. And even after so many years, she has no regrets on her decision of turning into full-fledged homemaker.


Madhuri Dixit- Worldwide recognized as Dhak Dhak girl, she ruled the Bollywood for more than a 1 decade. In the year 1999, she broke many hearts by settling down with renowned cardiovascular surgeon Shriram Madhav Nene. She took break from Hindi movies and after taking a significant sabbatical of 6 years, she rejoined the film industry. 

No one can question their decision of giving up promising career or rejoining the mainstream after taking a long break. Reason being, they are known faces. But, why such kinds of question always arise when a common woman takes the same decision? Why is that so it always remains a hush-hush issue among family and friends when a woman takes the decision putting of her career on a backburner?

It would not wrong to say that even for a woman taking this decision is not easy. She takes such kind of decision after weighing pros and cons and discussing it with her family. Moreover, every individual faces different kind of situation. Some women feel happy to rejoin their offices after marriage, whereas some are compelled to join office for meeting their both ends meal. The decision taken by her relies upon the fact that which choice is the best for her family, not that which is right or wrong at that point of time. So, the only point to convey is that respect her decision if she sacrifices her career for the sake of her family because priorities change after marriage.
