Rana Daggubati on Wife Miheeka Bajaj's Busy Schedule: 'She Travels More Than I Do'
Actor Rana Daggubati has opened up about his wife Miheeka Bajaj's demanding professional life, revealing that she currently has a busier schedule than he does. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the 42-year-old actor discussed how their careers fit into their personal lives and why he finds joy in his wife's professional pursuits.
"Well, now she has projects in Bombay, Goa. She travels more than I do. She's on calls longer than I am, and I love it. It's great," Daggubati said, according to The Times of India.
A Different Take on Work-Life Balance
During the interview, Daggubati was asked whether Bajaj's perspective on work-life balance had influenced him. The actor, known for his roles in films like 'Kaantha' and 'Parasakthi', explained that he does not view his work as something he needs to escape from, citing his deep love for cinema.
"Now, I don't see any other job or anything else that one can do in life that can keep you so engaged. And it's not like someone's put a gun to my head saying, 'listen, yehi karna hai (you have to do this),'" he said.
The actor elaborated that stepping away from work to achieve a perfect work-life balance isn't something he considers ideal. Instead, he suggested that finding work you are "interested in" and "happy" about should be prioritised, as reported by The Indian Express.
A Personal Touch: The Yoda Figurine
Daggubati also credited Bajaj with having a "Zen-like energy" that has been grounding for him. He shared a personal anecdote about a handmade Yoda figurine from Star Wars that he gave her early in their relationship, which remains one of her favourite possessions.
"Oh, it's actually a mould, like a handmade mould of a Yoda which we picked up at some point, somewhere. And I think when we first met, she said, 'Okay, what's something that represents you fully that you can give me and I can keep?' And everything was just pointing to Yoda and nothing else. So, I said, 'this is all the knowledge, this is where I get everything from. Keep it very carefully,'" Daggubati recalled.
Current Projects
The actor was most recently seen in a cameo appearance as Michael Reddy in the 2026 film 'Parasakthi'. He also appeared as Inspector Devaraj, also known as Phoenix, in the 2025 film 'Kaantha', which he also co-produced. Additionally, he made a cameo in the fantasy action film 'Mirai'.
