In an interview with ETimes, Pakkhi Hedge opened up about the hardships in the initial days of her career. However, she added that after parting ways with her husband, she started building up her career and said:
“I was a housewife, but later when I had some issues in my marriage, I stayed away from my husband along with my two daughters. That’s when I got into acting in 2005 because I wanted to be independent and have an identity of myself."
Further, Pakkhi revealed that at the beginning of her career, she had not disclosed about being a mother of two daughters. Elaborating on the same, she mentioned that initially she used to think that people wouldn't cast her if she disclosed her secret of being a mother. She added:
"In the beginning, it was very difficult because while it was a completely new profession for me, I was also a mother of two. I didn’t tell people at first that I had two daughters, but once I started getting work and made a name for myself then there was no need for me to hide anything. But initially, I thought that people might not cast me if they know that I am a mother."
