In an interview with Hindustan Times, Manasi Parekh revealed experiencing an exciting phase of her life. While talking about the trend of actresses doing more movies during their 20's and falling behind in their 30s, Manasi said this luckily was not the case with her. The 35-year-old actress said that now she is getting more interesting roles according to her age group. She shared:
"I am at an interesting juncture in my career. My Hindi film career is a few years old which started with Uri, which I was happy to be a part of. The usual trend is that actresses in their 20s do many Hindi films and in their 30s, things would peter down but that is not the case anymore. In fact, now there are so many different and interesting roles out there for my age group".
In the same interview, Manasi praised the writers and the viewers for accepting actors who are not playing a beautiful female character but have a proper role to portray in the storyline. She further talked about not getting movie offers when she was a television actor. Manasi revealed that after the success of her debut film URI: The Surgical Strike, she started getting good roles. The actress further credited her motherhood journey for her enhanced performances. Manasi could be quoted as saying:
"Who are not playing a quintessential, good-looking actress but one is playing a proper character. In fact, I always had wonderfully etched out roles in the TV shows I did. But when I was doing TV, 5-6 years ago, I didn't get film offers and maybe koi specify requirement hoga. And after Uri, people gradually have been offering good roles. Moreover, my experience, marriage and motherhood have added to my performances. Earlier actresses were told if you want a career, you can't marry or become a mother. But my career surged post marriage".

In an interview with India Today, Manasi had talked about the change that marriage has brought in her life. She had said:
"It may sound a little clichéd, but living together 24 hours with someone is very different from dating the same guy. You have to be very strong-hearted to be able to deal with the challenges of marriage. I've learnt to overlook small and petty differences and just focus on the big picture because I have realised that after all, what matters the most is to be together, no matter what."
On February 18, 2022, Manasi had taken to her Instagram handle and shared a cutesy video in which Manasi could be seen reuniting with her husband and daughter after a month. Manasi had penned a heartfelt note to wish her husband, Parthiv Gohil, a happy birthday, and she had thanked him for taking care of their daughter, Nirvi during her absence. She had written:
"Left home on 21st Jan and came back today on 18th Feb, @parthivgohil9's birthday! My dearest bachhu stayed without me for almost a month, transitioned to physical school, continued all her classes and was just the most mature and sweetest darling ever. None of this could be possible without @parthivgohil9's support. Love you".
