MUMBAI: It has been a couple of years since actor Deepika Singh Goyal was seen as a regular face on TV. And that, she tells us, is because she decided to quit TV, as long working hours were taking a toll on her health.

“I am not working on TV this I have ensured for the past two years. It is because of the health issues that I took a break from TV. Later, I found out that I was having a lot of issues because of the lifestyle I had while working on TV. Now, I know that it is very difficult for me to manage such long-term commitments,” says the actor, who was a part of Diya Aur Baati Hum for five years.

She is thankful that despite leaving work on TV, social media brought in financial stability in her life.

“I am an independent woman and bear my own expenses. And it is because of social media that I am able to do it. The profits are not as huge as when I was working on the small screen. But it is sufficient,” she says while revealing that she was body-shamed on social media after delivery.
