Kajal talks about the postpartum life
Kajal talked about the feeling she got when she held her baby for the first time after delivery.
“Holding Neil upon my chest covered with white mucous membrane and placenta within seconds of his birth has been my only tryst with self actualisation and such an indescribable feeling!
That one moment made me understand the deepest potential of love, made me feel a tremendous amount of gratitude and realise the responsibility of my heart outside of my body – forever – and all at the same time.”
She also talks about the troubles that come with having a baby. It is not always about the things that we see on social media. As Kajal writes, “In reality, postpartum isn’t glamorous but it sure can be beautiful!”

Talking about sleepless nights and anxiety, Kajal delves into the experience of having a baby with a lot of detail. Not many celebrity mothers talk about the first few days after delivery, but kajal delves into it in detail.
She wrote, “Of course it’s not been easy—3 sleepless nights that bleed into early mornings, learning to latch and burp, squishy bellies and stretched skin, frozen pads, breast pumps, uncertainty, constant worry if you’re doing it all right, all topped with doses of anxiety.”
Kajal shares the happiness of having a child
However, it’s not all about the negatives! Talking about the things that made her smile through the pain, she describes the happiness she got from her baby.
“Sweet cuddles in the wee hours of the morning, gazing into each other’s eyes with a look of confident recognition, adorable little kisses, the quiet moments when it’s just the two of us, growing, learning, discovering each other and navigating this wonderful journey together.”
