Mumbai: Actress Jennifer Winget has opened up about life after marriage, adding that while her priorities may have changed slightly, her approach towards acting and work remains the same.
Jennifer Winget was speaking at the trailer launch of her upcoming OTT series "Shaque: Trust No One," when she was asked about her priorities after getting married and whether settling down had changed her approach towards her career.

About Her Marriage To William Ishmael
Jennifer married William Ishmael, a Singapore-based businessman, in a private church ceremony in the UK in July this year, following a relationship the couple had largely kept out of the public eye. Ishmael, who studied Economics and Finance at the University of York and previously worked with UBS Investment Bank, currently serves as Director of Business Development and Trading at MHC Digital Group. This is Jennifer's second marriage — she was previously married to actor Karan Singh Grover, whom she met on the sets of "Dill Mill Gayye," from 2012 to 2014.
On Balance And Working With Familiar Collaborators
The actress said she believes in maintaining a balance in life and is mindful of the people and environment she works with.
"I think there are certain people who like a balance in life. And I am also one of them," she said. "I think for me it is also the people I am working with. It is very important for me that whoever I am working with, be it television, digital or whatever, for me that environment has to be very good," she added.
The actress added, "I keep working with the same people over and over again because it becomes a comfort zone. And they understand me. I know them. They know that she will do this, she will not do that."
"There Was Never Any Discussion On Motherhood"
Addressing the discussions around marriage and motherhood, she clarified that marriage has not meant putting her acting career on hold. The actress also dismissed motherhood speculation, saying there was never any discussion on motherhood.
"It's just that maybe priorities have changed a little bit. I have to think whether this month I am here or next month I am there," she said, adding that she keeps shuffling between countries to balance out work and marriage.
"It's been lovely so far. And thank you for all your wishes and love. It's just been absolutely wonderful," she said.
