Chhavi's post begins with-
"Fractured foot of a girl vs fractured foot of a mother.. a working mother... A working mother of 2!*I fractured my foot in the last few days of my pregnancy. Why I didn't tell anyone then? Well I didn't know myself!"
Reading her message until here raised concern about her but the details further also make us all aware about any such injuries that we choose to ignore and which could be a great threat post months.
She further writes-
"The last few weeks of the pregnancy, as you might recall were super hectic for me. I had to schedule the SIT posts in advance so I could take a couple of weeks off when I delivered, my interior decorators were making it extremely difficult for me to take out time for anything else, I needed to move houses 'before' Arham came so as to protect him from the dust... And there was little @areezahussein who is growing up to be more demanding than ever! I kept limping, thinking it's a sprain. It pained like a b*tch but I decided to be strong through it. The pregnancy swelling made it impossible for me to suspect anything out of the ordinary. Plus X-rays were not allowed. I delivered, and the fracture slowly healed itself.. not correctly though. I continued to have a nagging pain which sprang up upon being pressed or in certain positions."
Chhavi is the mother to her newborn son Arham as well as an elder daughter named Areeza Hussein.

In her message further, she adds how the injury on the same spot got her into a cast for a month to come.
"Until last week, when we started shooting for the first upcoming Web Series for the second weekly upload on SIT, 'Yours Cupidly'. I fractured my foot in the same spot again (4th metatarsal bone) and again I continued to walk all day on sets, and went to office everyday, and took care of my responsibilities at home, during the day as well as night. The pain increased, and I finally decided to go to the doctor (thank God). My royal ignore got me a royal scolding, and he put me in a cast for a whole month! (I almost felt like he's punishing me and saying, "ab chal ke dikha!"). And the stubborn me, went on sets the very next morning and shot for the upcoming episode of THE BETTER HALF streaming day after! So ya, it's not like I don't want to rest, it's just that I don't have a choice! I have 2 kids, and my work is super demanding too. Am I complaining? Hell no! This is the life I would choose a 100 times over! My latest achievement is a fracture what's yours, fellow mother? #resilience"
