More power to Celina! As a mother who had gestational diabetes too, I know how tough it is. Her honesty about postpartum struggles is so refreshing. Indian moms often suffer silently - we need more celebs speaking up like this 👏

While I admire her courage, I wish she'd also highlight how privileged she is to have access to top medical care. Many Indian women face similar complications without proper healthcare. The real heroes are our rural mothers!

My didi had cholestasis during pregnancy - it's terrifying! Celina's message about self-care is so important. Indian culture makes moms feel guilty for resting, but you can't pour from an empty cup 💛

Respect for sharing such personal struggles. But I wonder - does glamorizing extreme suffering create unrealistic expectations for new moms? Not every mother needs to be a martyr to be valid.

Breastfeeding twins consecutively through nights?! Bhagwan ka shukr hai I only had one baby at a time 😅 Hats off to all twin moms out there - you're made of steel!

Beautiful message for Mother's Day. In India, we put mothers on pedestals but rarely support them practically. Hope this starts conversations about better postpartum care in our hospitals.
