New mom Smriti Khanna UPSET that her parents couldn’t make it to her baby birth

Smriti Khanna gave birth to a bonny baby girl yesterday. The pretty actress took to her social media to reveal the news to the world. She shared a cute picture of her, hubby Gautam Gupta and the baby, and wrote, “Our princess has arrived ? 15.04.2020 (sic).” It’s such a happy moment for the couple, but sadly, Smriti’s parents could not be here due to unfortunate Coronavirus lockdown all over the nation.

Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Bubble a few days before the delivery, Smriti informed that she was pretty upset that her parents won’t be able to make it to the baby birth due to the lockdown. She said, “My parents stay in Delhi and they are so excited about their first grandchild. They were about to surprise me and told Gautam that when I go to labour to call them and they will take flight and will surprise me before I deliver. Now, that can’t happen and even after the flights start operating, it’s very risky that hey directly come and meet the baby. That made me sad but it’s okay. Safety comes first.”

Not only this, but Smriti also spoke a lot about giving birth to her baby amidst the lockdown. She had said, “I was panicking before the lockdown happened. Gautam, my father and brother-in-law, everyone was going out to work and I was the only one staying at home. So, I was panicking a lot at that time because they used to come back home meeting lots of people. I was reading and there was not much information about pregnant women during the Coronavirus crisis. That was causing anxiety which is not good at this time. I was trying to keep myself calm. When the lockdown happened, I was a little relieved in fact. So that way, we are in a safer environment now but still, I am thinking of what will happen after the lockdown. The best thing is you have to have faith in God. The babies are going to be super strong now to be born in this environment and also the moms. I really feel for them. I also have a few friends who are due and we keep encouraging each other.”

Talking about her husband, Gautam Gupta, she had said, “Gautam has been very supportive right from the beginning. He is very organised like he follow-ups with doctor’s appointments, collect files, reminders of all my sonographies and all. Everything is managed by him and I depend a lot on him.”

On parting shots, she also had some great advice for the women out there who’re also pregnant during these tough times of the Coronavirus outbreak. “All the mothers who are expecting right now are the strongest. This is the time of crisis where we have to cope up with the current scenarios and also keep ourselves calm. It’s a good time you are going to be with your family and spend more time with your kid. Try to be active as much as possible,” concludes Smriti.
