The post-pregnancy health debate has taken a major turn ever since Katrina Kaif made an appearance at the Ambani Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. The actress faced intense trolling over gaining weight after pregnancy. Now, as Katrina’s situation continues to make headlines, Karishma Tanna has opened up about the harsh realities of postpartum depression and how life changes after pregnancy.
What did Karishma Tanna say about post-partum depression?
In an interview with Times of India, Karishma said, “It feels amazing. When I delivered, I was like, ‘Oh, my God.’ It’s such a different feeling — there’s a sense of responsibility and an emotional connection. You feel like you’ve delivered a part of your own body. Motherhood is not easy, but it’s beautiful.”
Karishma added, “I have understood the meaning of strength. The strength women have during delivery is what real strength is. If you can survive this and if you can do this, trust me, you have the superpower.”
However, she, too, has experienced postpartum depression. She said, “There are times when you find yourself crying over every little thing… I had already prepared my mind for postpartum, that it is real, and I am strong. However, after all this, it still hits you, and it is not in your control. You still have to go through it.”
“The kind of strength required to be a mother, to do things after you’ve had stitches, gone through multiple emotions and experienced hormonal changes — from the highest of happy hormones to the lowest — is unimaginable,” Karishma concluded.
