Giving birth by C-section out of choice to Karan Patel’s party habits post daughter Mehr’s birth; Ankita Bhargava answers interesting fan questions about motherhood

Ankita Bhargava and Karan Patel are parents to two-year-old baby girl, who they have named Mehr. Ankita recently took to social media to answer several questions related to motherhood and life in general. Ankita also answered several questions related to her pregnancy, breastfeeding and also how she keeps Mehr busy during the lockdown. Here are some interesting revelations made by Ankita, who is still learning her way into motherhood.

Ankita replied, “To be very honest and real, this pandemic has made it very clear, it isn’t the right time to get more innocent lives into this big bad dangerous world. Sorry but that’s what I feel.”

Ankita revealed, “I opted for a C-section for a lot of reasons! Had a happy and smooth recovery.”

A lot of mothers’ concern was on losing weight post C-section delivery. Addressing them, Ankita wrote, “I followed a diet prescribed by my nutritionist to the T, starting 8 months post partum and continued breastfeeding Mehr too!” In another similar query she replied, “I have learnt how to listen to and understand my body now. I over indulge when I wish to and control my portions when I need to. Simple!”

Ankita shared, “Talk, talk, talk. Just keep talking to you baby about everything under the sun – like you talk to your best friend and read books. Many, many books.” She further shared, “We paint, sing, dance, read, talk, play games, do puzzles, drive around, meet friends, do Montessori activities, etc.”

Sharing her experience after giving birth to Mehr, Ankita said, “I didn’t overthing anything and just went with the flow. Never doubted or underestimated myself and enjoyed every minute of my journey.”

Karan Patel has been missing from the screen for a while now. He was last seen on TV in a full-fledged role as Mr. Bajaj in Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2. When a fan asked Ankita if they hope to see Karan on the big screen, she replied ‘Inshallah, this year.’

Most kids are addicted to gadgets, TV screens. However, Ankita and Karan have made sure Mehr doesn’t become one. When asked about why they don’t allow Mehr to have any screen time, Ankita replied, “Want Mehr to not become a screen addict right from birth. The first 3-5 years, kids have tremendous capacity to learn. I want her to explore more than surf!”

In a witty reply, Ankita wrote, “Dunno if it is Mehr or Covid, but he has stopped partying like before!”

Karan Patel and Divyanka Tripathi were the most loved on-screen pair in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. And they cherish a good bond as well. When asked when Mehr will meet Divyanka, Ankita responded, “Good Question.” She tagged Divyanka and the actress replied saying, “Jaldi milo phir. I am waiting!”
