Kajal Aggarwal’s note on post partum depression

She wrote, “Yes, I did. Its normal and the person going through it need family support the most. Removing time for yourself helps a lot. Doing your favourite activity. A quick workout (under supervision). A quick catch up for coffee with your besties-its therapeutic. Thankfully, I got over it soon enough, courtesy my very understanding family. Gave my husband a tough time. When I was going through it though.”

As Kajal resumed work soon after giving birth, a user asked her how the pregnancy affected her physique and if it was challenging. She responded by writing, “Its more in ones mind than physically challenging. Life offers beautiful moments. Live in the moment and make the best out of it. Having a baby is a blessing that I am truly grateful for. Jumping back into work two months post-partum is a blessing as well. Getting back to your pre-baby body is just a matter of time.”
