Sometime back, Mandira Bedi had made headlines when she had opened up about her desire to become a mother for the second time by adoption. In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Mandira had revealed her wish to be a mother again.

She had also shared how becoming a mother had given a new perspective to her life and had retorted, "Motherhood is the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me. There is so much that I learn from my son. He speaks like a wise old man at times and tells me ‘Mumma… I just love the feeling of love'. When you experience parenthood, it makes you look at the other side as well. The unconditional love I feel for my son, I can only imagine what my parents feel for me. And it has made me love and respects my parents more." (Also Read: Ananya Panday Praising Bestie, Suhana Khan For Editing Photoshoot Clips Is What BFF Goals Look Like)

In fact, even after my child was born, I was always divided between my personal and professional lives.” (Also Read: Rashami Desai's Mother Reveals Why She Changed Her Name From Shivani To Divya To Rashami)
