During an interview with India Today, Lalita DaSilva, who takes care of Kareena Kapoor’s son Taimur, explained that the demanding nature of her job – requiring continuous attention with minimal downtime – justifies a higher wage.

In terms of my remuneration, there’s been quite a bit said about it. Yet, not many realize the relentless nature of my work – no vacations, no holidays, I’m always on call, day and night. Even high-level executives in corporations manage to strike a balance in their lives, but that’s something I can barely claim for myself. Instead, I find myself consistently with the client. I may joke about it, but do I have the right to demand such compensation, and should they provide it? Well, that’s what I’ve come to expect. (laughs)
