The actress shared that it took her "a year-and-a-half to lose that weight.”
The actress who has been away from public life to focus on her son, Vayu, stated, "Becoming a mom was so important to me, I wanted it so badly. And then I just needed to be a mom for two years. Of course, I’m really blessed because I have a lot of help, but I want to do everything.” She further added her view, stating that this ingrains from "a sort of guilt" of conceiving a baby late.

She agrees that her husband is still completely smitten by her, stating, "Nice, na? Nine years together. I'm obsessed with him, everybody keeps saying oh my god, he loves you so much. Even I love him, but he's a softer person. I'm like a little more…cool. I got lucky, others are not that lucky. He's a nice guy.”
