Pooja Banerjeee and Sandeep Sejwal
Kumkum Bhagya actress Pooja Banerjeee aka Rhea Mehra has just announced her pregnancy and is due in March. Currently in her second trimester the actress says she plans to continue working through pregnancy.
Do you plan to keep shooting for Kumkum Bhagya or will you be taking a break?
I’m shooting for Kumkum Bhagya and I’m glad that people and society in general are being supportive about women working through pregnancy. The production house wanted me to continue shoot and not leave the show. I’ve been getting care from the production people, I used to work 12 hours when possible that will be reduced. We are three siblings and my mother was working till her last month of pregnancy. Acting is a very demanding job, it’s not a 9-5 where I get to sit at a desk. But my mother was confident I can pull it off. I was a little apprehensive because your body feels different. I was a ‘weekend baby’ my mother used to only visit me on weekends, I used to live with my nani in Uttar Pradesh. My mother worked for an airline in Delhi. So my mother herself was always working and wants me to do the same.
