YJHD Actress Kalki Koechlin’s Shocking Comments On Pregnancy. Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin, who costarred with Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor in the hit film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, welcomed motherhood with the birth of her daughter Sappho, whom she shares with husband Guy Hershberg. Looking back on her experience, she talked about how, after giving birth, her body felt entirely focused on meeting her baby’s requirements. She talked about the physical toll breastfeeding puts on moms as the infant consumes all the necessary nutrients.
Kalki Koechlin talked candidly about the sometimes disregarded difficulties of pregnancy and parenthood in a recent interview with ANI. She emphasized how the entire process has a substantial negative impact on the body and psyche, from the nine months of pregnancy to the demands of postpartum recuperation.
She said, “It takes a lot out of you and your body is like a slave to another person. Literally, you are just an incubation system for the baby. The baby is taking all your nutrients and energy.”
Recalling the demanding first six months following the birth of her baby, Kalki talked about the challenges of early parenting. She spoke of restless nights, continual feedings, and the nutritional cost of nursing since it took all of her energy to care for the infant.
She experienced a sense of loss amid the confusion, doubting who she was and wishing for anything like her former existence. Kalki underlined how difficult this stage might be and pointed out that these challenges are rarely freely expressed.
The actress gave birth to her daughter Sappho in 2020, and the two have had a wonderful relationship for the past five years. Kalki explained their friendship, saying that Sappho has become her confidante and that they talk about issues and even share secrets.
She sees her daughter as a new friend who not only gets her but also encourages her by allowing her to focus on her career.
