New Delhi: TV actress Sangita Ghosh is a proud and happy mom of a seven-month-old baby girl. The actress opened up about her motherhood journey in an interaction with ETimes. Sangita, who was in Jaipur last week for a puja and havan for her daughter Devi, told the publication that she did not share news about her daughter because of the latter being a premature baby. Devi also spent 15 days in the NICU.


"Devi was born prematurely on December 25 last year. It was an anxious time, as she had issues being a premature baby and was in the NICU for 15-odd days. It’s not that we hid the news, but we decided not to talk about it till we felt the time was right.”


"Sometimes, it feels so surreal that I ask my husband to pinch me. Devi is a very happy child and a copy of my husband (businessman Rajvi Shailender Singh). I recited the Gayatri Mantra when I held her for the first time… she opened her eyes and smiled. I can’t forget that moment," Sangita said.


Sangita Ghosh is a well-known TV personality having been a part of shows like 'Divya Drishti', 'Viraasat' and 'Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand', among others.


Sangita also told ETimes that she was not sure about resuming work after the birth of her daughter. Sangita had to move to Chandigarh for the shoot of her show 'Swaran Ghar' and her husband supported her career by being there for their daughter.


"I was in two minds about taking up the show, but my husband supported me and told me that he was there for the baby. That kind of support and confidence was overwhelming.”


In 2015, Sangita had suffered a miscarriage and had shared the devasting loss of 'losing a life inside her'. The actress said in the same interview, that at that time she immersed herself in her work to help heal herself. “I needed that confidence and appreciation. So, I got busy with work. Then the pandemic happened and my husband brought up the topic of starting a family again. I was really scared, but he was keen. So, here we are. We didn’t tell anyone because I was worried and superstitious. We informed our mothers after six-to-seven months."
