After 3 miscarriages, 3 IVFs, 3 IUIs and 3 surrogacy failures, Vandana and her husband, Rajesh Khattar were blessed with a baby boy. The happiness had struck the couple after 11 years of marriage and lots of hardship. However this wasn’t enough as just when happiness was ready to knock on their door, Vandana had to deal with a wrong C-section delivery.
Vandana and Rajesh Khattar had welcomed a little bundle of joy, Yuvaan Vanraj Khattar into their lives on June 18, 2019, and after three months in NICU, had brought their baby home on August 24, 2019.

Taking to her IG handle, Vandana shared a then-and-now picture and talked about her struggle for pregnancy. She shared that her C-section delivery had gone wrong and she had to get it done again. She wrote, “Looking at a #THROWBACK picture of myself having that perfect shape sure comes with its mixed bag of emotions. As you get older and go through all the different experiences that life throws at you, your body does not remain the same.

It’s difficult to go back to that perfect figure but I have realised that my current body is my badge of honour and is a testament to the fact that I am a warrior and a fighter. How many can even go through Half of what I did?.. I have overcome humongous hurdles and I am proud that I have emerged stronger. Thank god I am off medicines now and in a happy place. In the end what matters most is that you are fit physically and mentally, size really does not matter. Don’t let it drag you down, but remember you can always work on it! That’s the best part.”
