A welcome gift
After the birth of my son, I knew that I wanted one more kid, but couldn't manage the time to plan a baby. Last year, I lost my dad and was left quite depressed. Soon after his death, I found out that I was pregnant. I decided to have the baby, because I thought my dad was coming back to me in the form of a child. I wasn't nervous about my work commitments. You see so many Hollywood and Bollywood actresses working after having a baby these days. Even when I was pregnant, I was shooting for my projects in Mumbai, Goa, Dubai and other locales. I am very happy for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and wish her the best. If she's fit and able to give it her best on and off screen, then why doubt her capacity to work during her pregnancy. She deserves this much respect at least.
