Ishqbaaz fame Nakuul Mehta’s wife Jankee Parekh donates 90 packets of her stored breast milk for NICU babies

Singer Jankee Parekh, who is also the wife of actor Nakuul Mehta, has won many hearts through her thoughtful gesture. Jankee recently revealed through her social media post that she donated 90 packets of her stored breast milk to help babies admitted to the NICU.

She took to her Instagram account and shared a post about donating 90 packets of her stored breast milk. She called this the beginning of her “donation journey”.



Jankee Parekh shared an emotional note about how difficult and overwhelming it felt to part with the breast milk she had lovingly stored over the past few months.

Taking to her social media account, Jankee wrote, “Yesterday, I gave away 90 packets of my stored breast milk as my first donation to the milk bank, and I genuinely wasn’t prepared for how emotional that would make me feel. I’ve had such mixed feelings and have cried on and off through the day.”

She further added, “Ever since Rumi was born, I’ve pumped every single day. Multiple times. Half asleep, exhausted, telling myself just one more session. Bag after bag. Labelling, storing, making space, repeating. And a part of me always felt maybe my baby would need it someday.”

Speaking about her daughter, Jankee mentioned that her baby girl Rumi is now nine months old and she still continues to happily feed directly while also enjoying solids. She wrote, “Rumi is 9 months old now. Still happily directly feeding, but also really enjoying her solids right now. And somewhere, I just knew it was time.”

Describing the emotional value behind the milk bags, she shared, “I had no idea these little milk bags held so much emotion for me. Because for me, it was never just milk. It was discipline. Effort. Love. So much of what my body has gone through these past months.”

Jankee shared that she got emotional after learning her donated breast milk would now help babies admitted to the NICU. Speaking about motherhood, she wrote, “Women’s bodies are just wild. That we can create nourishment not just for our own babies, but for other babies too. It’s kind of incredible.”

As soon as Jankee shared the post, several friends and television actors took to the comment section to applaud the singer for her heartwarming gesture. While Drashti Dhami commented, “Sooooo proud of u mama,” Additi Gupta wrote, “Thats so amazing love.” Jankee's husband and actor Nakuul Mehta, who is extremely proud of his wife got emotional and wrote, “I love you.”

In one of the photos from the post, Jankee is seen carefully packing all the 90 packets in a cold container box. She was also seen breaking down emotionally as she packed it all. In another picture, she was seen kissing her baby girl Rumi.
