Sonnalli Seygal of Pyaar Ka Punchnama fame is on cloud nine. This is because she is embracing motherhood next month, while her husband, Ashesh Sajnani, will be a hands-on father. Sonnalli has been documenting every little milestone of her pregnancy. One thing that comes during this journey is pregnancy cravings. If you are a Bengali, you can easily relate to the cravings Sonnalli has been having in her motherhood journey.
During an exclusive interview with BollywoodShaadis, Sonnalli revealed that she is lucky that her husband, Ashesh, is a hotelier and a restauranteur. He is very particular about his menu. He only encourages a few changes, and his menu only needs a few changes. Sonnalli revealed that he studied in Europe and has European thinking; hence, he dislikes changing his dishes. However, Sonnalli is allowed to make changes in her pregnancy diet if she needs to add more protein to her diet. Fortunately, for her, she never had crazy cravings but craved for puchkas. In her words:

"I had a craving for pani puri in the beginning. In the first trimester, I was mad. I wanted pani puri every day, and I also wanted the Bengali puchka. In Bombay, I had to hunt it as I am from Kolkata, and there was a time when I went to 3 different stalls, and I had one from each shop because I was not getting that particular one. That phase lasted for three 3 months for the first trimester and then went away. Then, I was pretty much eating normally. I had a craving, and I still do. One craving that lasted was salads. I just felt like eating a lot of salads, fruits and raw kinds of foods. I was eating a lot of that. I have had karela and lauki also and have been equally happy."
Sonnalli, who also had cravings of having choley bhature in her pregnancy, also battled with varied mood swings in her pregnancy. She faced them in the 1st and the 8th trimesters. In her words:
"For me, it was quite crazy as one second I would be crying like when the pin fell, and the next 6 seconds I would be laughing. I would have no control over my tears or laughter. It was really weird. I felt like in the 8th month, my emotions were a little haywire. I told my loved ones mainly my mother and my husband that in case if I am a little horrible or mean please bear with me."
The actress was in New Zealand with her mom, holidaying at her brother's place, when she found she was pregnant. Ashesh was in Mumbai, and she was in New Zealand. Sonnalli remembered:
"It was quite exciting, and we had to make a change to that holiday because we had planned a lot of things in New Zealand on that holiday. We had planned sky diving, bungee jumping and all these things. Obviously, I had to cancel the whole of that because it was the first trimester, and you can't do it. I had to cut through it. I came back and went straight to my doctor, and I got my first bout of medicines and vitamins and started taking them. It was nice and exciting, and we were not expecting things like that."
