This Mother’s Day, poet and former Bigg Boss contestant Priya Malik got candid about motherhood, breaking stereotypes, and how her son Zoravar has transformed her outlook towards life. Reflecting on her journey, Priya shared how becoming a mother later in life was a conscious and deeply personal decision.

On breaking stereotypes as mother

“As growing up as a little girl, I knew I always wanted to be a mom, I've always had a very maternal instinct,” she said. However, life took unexpected turns when she got divorced at 30, moved countries, and began her spoken word poetry career. “Everyone around me was like, okay, this was the time for you to settle down and have a baby. And what are you doing? There are so many upheavals happening in your life,” she recalled.
