Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How successful have women been in shattering the glass ceiling in the Media & Advertising field?
Ms. Kamiya Jani:
I can’t speak for women in general but for me, I am glad it all worked out at the right time and the right place. Yes women are usually given lesser opportunities but I guess it’s about time it all changes.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have been to 38 countries, 108 cities which has been by far the best experience and what places are on your 2020 bucket list?
Ms. Kamiya Jani:
My best experience has been travelling to Thailand to create a series on friends who travel to Bangkok and Koh Samui. We had a big crew and there was a lot of fun off camera and on camera. It’s always about people over places. On my bucket list is Japan, Iceland & Spain.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You once mentioned that in India pregnancy is considered a disease, what were the challenges you faced when you were pregnant and had a baby, and how do you strike a balance between work and personal life?
Ms. Kamiya Jani:
Just being physically tired was one of the biggest challenges. As much as I have the drive to live it up always, I remember a time in Turkey, when I wanted to explore the town; I just couldn’t, as I was so heavy and tired. It was my 7th month of pregnancy. But I remember going into work till the day before my delivery. It was pretty smooth. I am glad everyone around made me feel as normal as possible. When the baby was born, first few days, every mom is very nervous as she is still figuring things but soon you understand how things flow. I chose a job that let me spend a lot of time at home. So my timings were 6am – 3pm so 4pm onwards I used to be with the baby. I resumed work after 5 months of having a baby.
