"I contemplated a lot whether I should post this image or not ... Whether Arya will grow up and be embarrassed about it .. whether I'll get trolled by people who will judge me , call me names or just be obnoxious with their degrading sexual comments...."
The picture shows Arya looking at the mommy while feeding at her breast and this is what prompted Shweta to go ahead with the posting. Her caption further reads -
"But then I took a long look at this picture again and all I saw was the look in my baby's eyes and how she and I were connected in this sacred moment . This bond is strong and so precious .. you can see the vulnerability in her eyes , her trust in her Mamma who she knows will nurture her , protect her and will always be there by her side. This is that moment of Truth , of courage and of an everlasting togetherness and I am proud of it."
Shweta laced her post with hashtags - "#worldbreastfeedingweek #liquidgold #freedomtofeed . . . . . #mommyandbaby#bumpbirthbeyond #breastfeeding#breastfeedingmama #bond#soulconnection #mybaby #instalove#purelove #motherslove#normalizebreastfeeding #breastfeed#breastfeedwithoutfear#breastfeedingjourney #free"
And the mommy is being showered with a lot of love by her friends from the industry as well as the fans. Husband Hermit Sethi also joins them. The much-in-love couple is settled in Goa and own a restaurant 'Burger Factory' at Goa beach.
Hermit commented on Shweta's post: "SO PROUD OF YOU????????????❤️❤️❤️"
Surveen Chawla who too became a mom recently, writes: "[clapping hands emojis]"
Achint Kaur: "Pure love[heart emoji]"
