Extreme monsoons, extreme cold, 50 degrees heat. In sickness.. With a saline, with injections and with a plaster but nothing has affected me ever. I was always a hard nut. But I lost it today. Haven’t felt this guilty and this emotionally drained in years. Ved is back home safe with my mother and well taken care of. He’s on solids, also I am pumping and trying to give him best nourishment but the fact that he’s away from me for a long time is killing me every second. Hats off to all the mothers who manage both work and the child. I hope I fulfil both the responsibilities properly. And none is affected. Not my child and not my work!”.

Mahhi Vij, the mother of a baby girl, recently shared about the difficult time when Tara was admitted to the NICU for a month after her delivery. In an exclusive interview with ETimes TV, the actress talked about the tough phase and how she dealt with watching her newborn in the NICU. “I would request the doctors and everyone if I could stay back. But the doctors and nurses made me strong. They made me understand that a lot of babies go through this and they recover and get discharged. So they would tell me I shouldn’t worry and that my baby is a fighter and she is fighting on her own, why can’t you. During the initial phase I used to cry a lot and they would make me understand that if you will cry you will break Tara’s willpower. That phase was like a learning for me that if that small kid is fighting for her life, then why am I not showing that courage?”, she shared.
