When asked if this was a conscious decision, Deepika shared, "It was completely a conscious decision. It was a choice I made to fulfill my childhood dream of learning a classical dance form. At the same time, I was taking care of my son."

She continued, "I love to spend time with him, raising him. I feel contentment and I feel very happy that I spent so much time with him. I have formed a bond with my son and with my family, with my sister-in-law and mother-in-law, so I am thankful that I gave time to my family."

Further, she explained, "I got to enjoy family time. Simultaneously, I explored dance form. I also did films like Titu Ambani. So I was away from Television, but I continued working, doing events, advertisements, short films, and film. But the whole focus was on learning classical dance form, Odissi."
