"I just came across this news of me quitting acting as a career. People misunderstood my comments from my previous interview that I've given up acting. So I would just like to clarify there is nothing like that. I have always craved to live a life of a housewife. Shoaib would go to office and I would make breakfast for him and take care of the house. But that doesn't mean that I don't want to work ever again."

In her words:
"Ho sakta hai l won't work for next four-five years or I might soon get offered something very good and I might accept it also, Aisa bhi ho sakta hai that I might feel that I want to give my first four-five years to my kid. All this I can only say when I welcome my baby.”
Talking about her wish to enjoy the motherhood phase with her soon-to-be-born baby, Dipika shared that she wants to raise her child in her presence. The mommy-to-be also mentioned that her baby would need her in the growing-up years and added that she would love to experience this phase and enjoy it to the fullest. Dipika further revealed that this life has been her dream and added:
"I'm saying this because I'm an old school person and I feel when a baby is born he/she needs their mother, initial years mein Maa ka saath hona zaruri hai. This is how we have seen kids being raised around us. When we would study our moms to wake up early and sit with us. I want to live these moments with my child and enjoy it. That is the phase I want to go through and experience it. When you say that this is the best phase that I'm enjoying right now, you are absolutely right. This life has been my dream."
