Akriti on taking stage 28 days after delivery: Blessed to have a strong support system
Hindustan TimesIt's unusual for new mums to get back to work soon after deliver, but Akriti Kakar’s return to the stage 28 days after giving birth to son Mehraan has left everyone surprised. It’s a blessing to have a solid support system at home and an extremely supportive child.” Akriti Kakar Kakar says since she breastfeeds her baby, she plans things well before heading out for shows: “To be able to take care of Mehraan, I take care of my diet and body. Amid all the cuddles, burps, shushing, loving and feeding, music helps me keep the balance going and deal with postpartum in the best way possible.“ In the current times of social media, she would have also received a lot of judgement-heavy comments for returning to work so soon. I’ve been inspired by so many working women around me, including my mum, who resumed her teaching job after I was born and my sisters were born,” says the 37-year-old, who went barefoot during a gig recently, something uncommon for new mums.
