Through her social media posts, the mom-to-be is busting typical societal norms and rewriting pregnancy rules.

Drashti Dhami drops workout video dismissing pregnancy stereotypes
On August 12, the soon-to-be mom dropped a clip of herself working out in the gym, thereby giving insight into her commitment to fitness. The video not only proves that Drashti Dhami is advocating exercise for pregnant women but is also a live example of how expectant mothers should stay active. In the clip, the actress is seen lifting a few weights and indulging herself in exercises that enhance the strength of the thigh muscles.
In the caption, she emphasized working out during pregnancy and asserted that it should be done under the supervision of a trained professional. Dismissing the stereotypes that pregnant ladies must only focus on consuming healthy meals and should not lift weights, the Geet Hui Sabse Parayi fame wrote, "Baby on the way 9–12 mahine ki chutti from working out? I don’t think so! We’ve all heard, “bhaari wazan nahi uthao”, “bass ab aaram karo, khao piyo…”—- but it doesn’t have to be that way!"
Further, Drashti pointed out that staying active can minimize the risk of complications during pregnancy. "In fact, exercise is not dangerous for your baby. There is evidence that active women are less likely to experience problems in later pregnancy and labour," she added.
Reflecting on the benefits of engaging in an exercise regime and physical activity, she mentioned that working out leads to increased energy, less weight gain during pregnancy, preparation for the physical demands of labor, a boost in the baby’s neuromotor skills, faster recuperation after delivery, and reduced back and pelvic pain.
Lastly, the Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka actress stressed that every pregnancy is different. She advised expectant mothers to consult with a doctor and training professionals before adopting any kind of workout routine.
