Respect for her dedication, but let's be real. Most Indian women don't have the luxury of a film set's support system. For a regular office employee, this would be a nightmare with our current maternity leave policies.

"The needle shouldn't change too much" – what a powerful statement. The societal expectation that a woman's entire identity must shift to just 'mother' after having a child is so outdated. Great conversation starter.

Contractions started at YRF studios! 😲 Imagine the chaos and then the rush to the hospital. Must have been quite the story. Glad both mother and baby were safe.

As a new mom myself, I relate so much. The guilt of wanting to work vs. being with your child is real. It's nice to see celebrities talk about the real pressures, not just the glamour.

Interesting perspective. In many Western countries, there's a stronger push for longer, paid maternity leave to *not* have to work until the last minute. The "hustle culture" around pregnancy she's describing seems intense.
