Actor Mridula Oberoi’s path to the entertainment industry was different from the rest. Raised in Pathankot, Punjab, she began working early and balanced family responsibilities with her career. “I started working very early in life. I got married young and lived in a small town where opportunities were limited,” she shares.
Her first job was as a kindergarten teacher, a role she held for 10 years. “Since my son was small, I chose to stay in the education sector so I could give him time and raise him well. Once he grew up, I joined a corporate job which I had to quit owing to health issues,” she recalls.
