Pooja Banerjee and Sandeep Sejwal to embrace parenthood; expecting their first child in March 2022 

Kumkum Bhagya star Pooja Banerjee is all set to embrace motherhood for the first time with her husband Sandeep Sejwal. Reportedly, she is in her second trimester and the baby is due in March next year. In an interview with ETimes, Pooja revealed they wanted to conceive in 2020, but the plan was put on hold after she met with an accident in 2019 (on Nach Baliye). However, when the second lockdown was implemented, they decided not to delay it as they didn’t want to become parents at a later stage.

As Pooja is expecting her first child in March 2022, she even happened to reveal that they want a baby girl. Talking about the time when she learnt about her pregnancy on the set of her TV show, she told the portal, “I felt that something was not right. So, one day before leaving for the shoot, I went for a blood test. Around 4 pm, I got the report stating that I was pregnant. I asked Sandeep to pick me up that day, as I didn’t want to break the news over a phone call. He did a happy dance when he learnt about it (laughs!). Both of us want to have a daughter. I want to dress her and make her wear nice swimming costumes.”

Banerjee also revealed that she has asked the makers of her show to release her but she will go with the flow. “I approached the makers with an option to release me if it was getting difficult for them, as I was anyway planning to quit the show in a couple of months,” she said.
