Rubina Dilaik recently spoke to singer Akriti Kekar about her postpartum journey and how she coped with the same.
Singer Akriti Khekar and her husband Shirag Arora welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in November last year. A month later, popular TV couple Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla welcomed twin girls. After becoming a mother, Robina spoke openly about her journey to motherhood, especially her experience with raising twins. Interestingly, the winner of Bigg Boss 14 has launched her YouTube show called ‘Kisine Bataya Nahi’, where she discusses topics that are not usually talked about.
Recently, Rubina invited Akriti Kekar on her show to talk about her journey after embracing motherhood, maintaining emotional balance and going through postpartum changes. She also talked about the importance of self-care for new mothers.
Sharing her initial experience, Kakar explained, “Everybody says life is going to change and I’ve heard it so many times. I always felt, ‘Why are people so scary?’ It’s supposed to be a celebration. At first, responses like, ‘Go to bed now, you won’t sleep later. You’ll have to go to lunch, go to dinner, do something. Then your heart will break, how will I leave it at home?’ ‘ So many people did it in such a structured, scary and negative way. So in the fourth month I decided I didn’t want to tell anyone. I won’t share because unsolicited advice just confuses my mind and it will color me in a way I don’t want.”
Sharing the video, Robina Dilaik wrote, “Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can because motherhood is the biggest and hardest thing,” and added, “We had an open and heartfelt conversation about maintaining emotional balance, coping with postpartum changes, and prioritizing self-care as a mother”.
Robina Dilaik opened up about feeling constantly nervous after the birth of her twins and recalled a particularly difficult moment around the 15th or 20th day postpartum. The actress claimed that she had trouble sleeping and became short-tempered, leading to arguments at home. Although people are constantly visiting their home, she decided to prioritize her recovery and refused to meet anyone. Despite her frustration, her husband Abhinav Shukla consoled her and offered to take care of their daughter so she could get some sleep.
Meanwhile, Akriti Kekar expressed her struggle with not feeling well despite trying to find joy in things that usually bring happiness. She revealed her disappointment when neither good food nor a hot shower helped lift her mood, leaving her heartbroken. She questioned how everything she loved failed to make her happy, leading her to realize that her emotional experience was probably due to changes in her body after giving birth. During that time, the only thing that made her happy and rested was a warm hug from her partner.
