Actress Divyanka Tripathi, who recently welcomed twin baby boys with her husband Vivek Dahiya, has shared details of the couple’s first Ganpati celebrations after embracing parenthood.
Speaking to IANS during the celebrations at their home, Divyanka revealed that the festivities have been kept simple and intimate this year, with a blue theme chosen in keeping with the arrival of their baby boys.
“Our two babies have just arrived. So, we thought that Lord Ganpati should come and see our babies here at home. And we haven’t done much in terms of preparations. We have kept everything very small, very simple,” the actress said.
“We have brought baby Ganesha. So, we have kept a little blue theme because there are boys, and there are some pearls, and there are rabbits, mushrooms. We have kept a little cute decor. It’s for our babies,” she added.
The actress also opened up about managing the festive celebrations while caring for their newborns, describing the experience as hectic but fulfilling.
“It is hectic. We have to manage a lot. If the brain was running at 60, then it has to run at 160. That the babies should also be very comfortable. People are also coming. To manage everything properly, we have to go an extra mile,” she said.
Despite the demands of caring for their twins, the couple ensured that traditional festive food was prepared at home.
“We have made food at home. We have made Modak there. And we have made vegetables, roti, dal, whatever we are going to eat at home, we have made everything for food at home,” Divyanka said.
The actress said caring for such young babies is a major responsibility and admitted that parenthood has changed the couple’s priorities, with their focus now centred on their children.
“Even while sleeping, we are looking at the babies whether they are okay or not. We never thought so much about ourselves as much as we are thinking about the new individuals. And when we used to think that we should do something different, something good, now it seems that whatever we do, it should be good for the babies,” she added.
