Talking about her pregnancy, the actress had earlier told the daily: "I had gone out of town for a holiday and fell sick. I had to return and consult my doctor. That's when he gave us the good news about my pregnancy. My parents, in-laws and husband are extremely happy. Having a baby is such a beautiful experience, which I feel is unique for every woman.

My family is superstitious so we were hesitant to announce this news earlier. I support and understand their emotions. Both Rohit and I are looking forward to this new phase in our lives and pray to God that everything turns out to be good this year."
