Sonam Kapoor: Actor Sonam Kapoor gave birth to son Vayu Kapoor Ahuja seven months back on August 20, 2022. The Neerja actor often takes to Instagram and talks openly about her pregnancy and her life as a new mom. In an interview in the past, she freely spoke about having a ‘natural, quick birth’ and ‘breastfeeding pretty easily’.
And now in a new interview, Sonam admitted that she is not back to ‘what she used to be’ before she had her baby, and that she is ‘not even pushing herself’.
The actor, who’s currently nursing her seven-month-old, recently shot for the 15th anniversary cover of Grazia magazine and freely talked about her experience as a new mom.
The actor gave birth seven months back. She admitted in the interview that she is not on ‘any crazy diet’ to lose her pregnancy weight and that she is exercising to be healthy.
Hopes to continue breastfeeding for at least a year
She said she was still breastfeeding, and hopes to continue ‘for at least a year’, and for that her body needs ‘food, rest, and energy’.
The actor also opened up about how expectations have been ‘unreal and often unkind’ from moms, especially celebrity moms like herself. She said, “You look at yourself in all these videos which are super unflattering and taken on the phone – and you’re wondering to yourself – ‘am I really looking like that’? I’m not scared of anything in that sense, ageing or anything else – but I just don’t feel like myself. If I’m shooting, I send my measurements in advance – I don’t want to come back feeling like I’m not fitting into these tiny clothes – it plays a huge havoc on your self-confidence, to try and fit into things you would have fit into five or 10 years ago.”
‘Body needs the food, rest, and energy’
Sonam added, “I’m not back to what I used to be and I’m not even pushing myself – I’m still breastfeeding, and I hope to continue for at least a year. Your body needs the food, rest, and energy while you’re doing that. I’m not on any crazy diet, I’m exercising – I exercised through my pregnancy – and being healthy. I took care of myself through my pregnancy and I’m going to continue doing that and not check the scales.”

Sonam and Anand had posted on Instagram to announce the exciting news of their baby’s arrival. Sonam was recently in Delhi with Anand and Vayu as they visited her in-laws.
