Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor Ahuja recently announced the news of her pregnancy and surprised the whole industry.
In a recent interview with Vogue, the actress opened up about embracing pregnancy and how has the journey been for her so far.
While talking about the time she entered the industry, she said, “I was a big girl at 5’10.” However, it was her genius directors like Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra who instilled confidence in her and didn’t pressure her to look a certain way. “I realised that it was much better to be confident and body positive, as opposed to eating celery sticks,” she added.
She also spoke about her love for fashion and how she has always been inspired to try out new styles and curate trends. She says. “I love fashion. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. I like to look for things that make me feel more like myself, I’m an actor and a Gemini, I like to be a different person every day,” said the actress.”
Speaking of wellness and her eating habits, Sonam revealed that she has always focused on wholesome meals instead of crash diets. “I’m not trying to be on some high protein diet to get to fifteen percent body fat. Crash dieting is just not sustainable,” she said.
Coming to her pregnancy journey, the actress revealed that first three months were initially hard for her. “It’s been tough—nobody tells you how hard it is. Everybody tells you how wonderful it is,” she confessed. However, not being fazed by the tough roads, Sonam continues to embark this new journey one day at a time. “If you want to carry another life within you, you have to respect your own. The reason we’re all here is to change and become better versions of ourselves. So that evolution is something I look forward to,” she concluded.
