Read here.
How excited are you and Aditya as you embrace parenthood?
We are very excited and blessed because it happened when we actually started planning it. I know a lot of people who wait for so long and go through these painful treatments. I had made up my mind that I will go for treatment if it does not happen soon. But the fact that it happened when we desired it the most, is what makes me feel very very blessed.
Have you made up your mind about a break from acting? What are your plans?
I don’t think I am going to take a break from anything. I don’t think anything restricts me from anything, at least now. That is my take on it. I am going to continue with my acting plans, and continue making content on Instagram. I will also continue hosting events with my friend Vahbbiz. Nothing is stopping me as of now, as I am in my second trimester. I had a lot of restrictions in the first trimester, but I do not have them now. So I will work as much as I can. I am ready even if my water breaks on the set, and I go for my labour from my set. I am ready to go that far, but all keeping my health in check.
Heard you had to lead a restricted life in your first trimester. Tell us about it.
I had a lot of complications in the first trimester. That is why the doctor did not allow me to step out of the house. It was a jail, a Bigg Boss house without any inmates. I used to watch TV every day. Since I was not allowed to walk too much, it was just TV and food, and sleep. It was a little depressing, and I have been a workaholic all my life. I am happy that I have overcome the phase well.
Have you started shooting for Ghum Hai?
Yes, I resumed my shoot for Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin from 2nd January 2023. I can’t thank the makers enough, as the minute I told them that I cannot shoot for the reason I had, they were very sweet to me. They told me just call us when you are ready to come back. I was a little sceptical, but they allowed me to come back and included me in the story so well. It was very overwhelming and this does not happen in TV. They made an exception for me. I am grateful to them.
What are your and Aditya’s wishes at this juncture of life?
Our wish is to have a healthy baby. When you are not on this journey, you have a lot of wishes. When you are on the journey, you realize that a healthy baby matters the most. We take things so lightly, but when we see a normal healthy baby, trust me, that’s the biggest blessing a family could have.
How do you think you as an individual will change as a mother? Have you sensed any change now?
I am only in the 4th month. I cannot see too many changes in myself, except that everything is consciously happening in slow motion. When it comes to food, I eat all that is needed. These are the changes that have come to me as of now.
How exciting is it to get showered by all love upon announcement?
The love from your family is obvious. Parents, husband, in-laws, close friends, all are going to give you love. But what has moved me is the love that I am getting on the sets of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. The Director, DOP, Creative, dress people, hair people, spot boys, AD, and everyone supports me on the set. This overwhelms me. I am blessed about having such people around me now.
