Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi welcomed a baby boy recently and the couple embraced parenthood once again after their daughter Mehr. In an interview with News18, the actress spoke about embracing motherhood again, how the environment is at home, and how her husband is as a father.


Talking about motherhood, she said, “I am just glad that I have the strength of getting up on my feet, mentally and physically sooner than a lot of people do. I think it is my bouncing back mentality that shows out here. I am also happy that the release of my film Sanak is coinciding with me giving birth. I feel like the surround sound is just that as women, we can do anything that we put our minds to.”


When asked about the environment at home and how Bedi is as a father, she stated, “It is really an overwhelming feeling. There is such a positive environment in the house with a lot of love pouring in from everyone. With that, the sleepless nights have returned too (laughs). Especially as a mother, because a baby needs them more than anyone else. But I am not complaining as Angad tries to be there as much as he can.”


She added, “He is really cool and calm. Angad has been really hands-on and has taken over all the responsibilities of Mehr (their three-year-old daughter). As parents, Angad and I don’t want our daughter to feel misplaced or displaced by the presence of another baby as she is too young to understand. I am just making sure that a lot of my time is dedicated to looking after the baby, my health, Mehr and of course Angad and I are taking one day at a time with immense amounts of patience.”

She also made a revelation about her labour and how she was shooting at that time. "I was working through labour and contractions. Like I was in the middle of contractions and was shooting. On a lighter note, you can put the crown back on my head which I won 20 years back (referring to her Femina Miss India pageant win) that I was working while having labour and contractions (laughs). But, I didn’t decide like that. I just felt that any opportunity that comes my way, and if I like it, I should not miss it. I just feel like if you have professional aspirations and personal dreams or vice versa, it shouldn’t be an option in a woman’s life. I have been in the business for 20 years, I have come a long way and I have a long way to go. I am aware of what my shortcomings are," she said.

The actress’ latest film Sanak has begun streaming from today on Disney Plus Hotstar. It also stars Vidyut Jammwal and Rukmini Maitra.
