In a recent interview with Vogue India, Sonam Kapoor recalled her life's most memorable moment when she found out about her first pregnancy. Though Sonam’s hubby, Anand Ahuja was diagnosed with Covid-19, she had shared the ‘good news’ with him over a video call. Sonam can be quoted as narrating:
“I found out I was pregnant on Christmas Day. Anand was in the other room of our London apartment since he had Covid-19 and I basically Zoomed (video called) him and gave him the news. Then we called our parents and told them as well.”

“We had all decided that I would be extra careful since a lot of people in London were getting Covid-19 around that time, but exactly a month later, I came down with a fever, cough and cold.

In the same conversation, Sonam had shared her feelings about becoming a first-time parent. Calling the decision of giving birth to a child ‘selfish’, she had said:
“Priorities do change and I think that the child will become mine. The truth of the matter is that they didn’t choose to come into this world. You decided to bring them here, so it’s a very selfish decision.”
Sonam Kapoor is indeed an inspiration for many women, who are embracing motherhood in their 30s. What do you think?
