Tannistha Chatterjee: The Lockdown Has Helped Me Get Closer To My Daughter!

In  October  2019  internationally acclaimed  actress Tannishtha Chatterje adopted  a 3-year old daughter.

The lockdown had proved  a  blessing in  disguise for the mother and  daughter. “If I didn’t get the chance  to be  home-bound for three months—and now there’s another  month of  lockdown in Mumbai—I’d have  never  got the chance  to bond with  my daughter Radhika . You see  from the time she  came   home I’ve been constantly shooting. Radhika was spending most of the time with my mother.”

The lockdown forced  Tannishta  to give  up work and be with her daughter. “This has been the most unforgettable time of my life. Radhika and I have just been getting to know one  another.I have been  schooling her, teaching her  basic etiquette and since  I have no  house  help she has also been  watching me do  all the house work and  know what  it is like to be sulf-sufficient.Since  she  has spent so much time with my mother Radhika speaks  fluent Bengali and  my mother is worried she  won’t be able to  speak Hindi.”

Does  an  adopted  child work for  Tannishtha?  “It works like  a dream.I can’t see any difference between  an adoptive and biological  child. What  I feel  for Radhika is  just way too  precious to be  comparable  with any  other relationship status.”
