Bollywood actor Amrita Rao and RJ Anmol’s little bundle of joy, Veer, just turned one. This also marks Rao’s one year of motherhood. It’s no secret that the Ishq Vishq actress has always maintained a low-key life and finds happiness in the little things.
In a recent interview with The Bombay Times, Rao opened up on the many facets of embracing motherhood and how life has changed after the arrival of her son.

Talking about the thing she likes the most about her little munchkin, she said, “The best thing about spending time with such a young one is I get to kiss his baby soft hair or his soft-soft head. Babies have the cutest head. And that’s my best takeaway while spending time with him.”
The new mommy is very protective of her son’s health, “Veer is not allowed to watch any TV! I want to save his tender eyes as long as I can. I’m also very particular that there is no loud music being played around him.”

Life surely has changed after motherhood, Amrita asserts, “The schedule is never yours because the baby is now your boss! I haven’t slept for eight hours at a stretch in the last 18 months. I haven’t had coffee or eaten many yummy things that won’t suit his stomach. Along with my work schedule, I balance his schedule and prepare all his baby food. Now, seeing a new place or eating something nice doesn’t feel complete without him. It’s amazing that now I know exactly what Veer wants every time he cries. Motherhood is about surprising yourself with the strength you never knew you had.”

For Amrita, who loves to cook all his meals personally, the most satisfying part is to see him lick the platter clean, “For a parent, the greatest joy is to see your baby enjoy having food! We have a babysitter only to play with him all day. Anmol takes care of his vitamins and sunbathing, while I cook all his meals.”
