Speaking about success and failure, she said, "I don't give much importance to success or failure. It's a part of our life. I feel we hype our success too much and stress a bit much on failure. Whereas the impact and intent of your daily life is important. Being an actor who has worked in six languages, someone who took a break because I was having babies, I remember people telling me, ‘Oh, you want to come back to films after 10 years, it won’t work,’ but my comeback film became a cult. We shouldn't listen to people."

Genelia also opened up about the intersection of motherhood and stardom, emphasizing how she prioritized her children during her decade-long break. "During those ten years, I was focusing on myself, my kids, and I remember Riteish telling me that we have to make our kids capable. Someone who has been used to easy protein, a non-vegetarian, I struggled with it. That's where Imagine (her and husband Riteish Deshmukh’s firm) was born. It is for every flexitarian, who consumes meat five days a week but opts for sustainable options twice a week. Even when it comes to vegetarian foods, we have very few options to choose from when it comes to protein intake. This led me and Riteish to create a sustainable option," she said.

The panel explored the delicate balance between ambition and well-being, with Genelia’s journey serving as a testament to perseverance, self-care, and staying true to one's passion despite societal pressures.
