Further she revealed that she only took a break from acting in her first trimester where she didn’t know what to do with herself because she had been working from an early age.
She said, “I shot for Indian 2 just two months postpartum. I was horse riding and doing kalaripayattu; it was excruciatingly painful. Shankar sir was extremely understanding and tried to adjust my schedule, but I had to finish the film. It was the toughest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I took my baby along when we shot near Tirupati because I was still feeding him. I would pump between shots and would send milk back to his room.”
The actress further disclosed about her emotional breakdown as she had separation anxiety while going to work, wondering if she was a bad mom. The actor revealed that she is taking therapy for recovery.
She added, “You feel bad, insecure, threatened, scared, nervous, you feel all of that in double intensity. I took therapy to deal with it and was on anti-depressants when it was safe to take them. Nothing much changed after I got married but motherhood changed me as a person. Having a baby is challenging. But I tend to prioritise my family, everything else comes later. My husband (Gautam) can always reach me, no matter how busy I am. I have maintained that from day one.”
Her new release Indian 2 has been in the production stage since 2019. Indian 2 is the sequel of1996 film Indian will also cast Kajal, Siddharth, and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles.
