Pooja Bedi says she has ‘NO REGRETS’: “Making mistakes is part of being human..I call them experiences” - Exclusive

Bollywood’s one of the most loved and beautiful stars, Pooja Bedi, recently turned a year older. And the years seem to have only added more wisdom to her life’s journey. Reflecting on the same, in an exclusive interview with us, Pooja shared, “The life-o-meter is tick tick ticking and every birthday is a reminder that I have more years behind me than ahead of me and I have to live my dreams.”Though they say time stops for one, this diva has mastered the art of pausing the aging process. Speaking about the secret that keeps her young, the veteran actress mentioned, “I have a company that's focused on bringing the eight pillars of wellness into everyone's lives: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, environmental, sexual, financial, and social. Workouts and healthy foods for physical fitness are as important to me as butter chicken and laughter are for mental wellness.”When questioned about any regrets in all these beautiful years, Pooja said, “Making mistakes is part of being human. I don't call them mistakes. I call them experiences to learn and grow from. There are absolutely no regrets. It’s one life, and it has to be a full and happy one.”Pooja Bedi is one of the entertainment industry’s stars who raised her kids as a single parent. When asked to share how the entire journey had been, she hilariously replied, “Though I'm a single mother, my kids are now grown adults at 25 and 27 years of age and very much their own individuals. I love being needed by them. But there's less and less of that and more of me needing them now.”However, she did share with us the biggest takeaway from the parenting diary of her mother Protima Bedi and said, “The greatest learning from my mom that I have carried forward is that the importance and value of parenting is in not being needed — to empower our children to be resilient, capable, and caring for themselves as well as others.”Last but not least, speaking about her childhood memories, the actress used the words - “unmatchable, crazy, happy, fun, and loving.” “Growing up memories with my mom are what have created a blanket of memories that keep me warm and cocooned... and I seek to do the same with my kids. Ships are safe in harbours. But that's not why ships were built. Same with the human journey. Much to explore, understand, stand up for, stand up against, challenge, experience, and rejoice about,” she concluded.
