‘Dor’ actress Gul Panag gave birth to a baby boy six months ago. Shocked? Well, we were also shocked to hear the news that she is the mother of baby boy Nihal. In an interview to Mumbai Mirror Gul Panag revealed why she kept this news under the rader. She said: “Rishi (her husband) and I have always valued our privacy. Becoming parents is a special experience and we decided that we’d like to go through it without the distraction of public attention. Family and close friends knew about Nihal but we refrained from posting anything on the social media. He is almost six months old and it has been a roller coaster ride! I’m charmed by his gurgles and giggles even if it is a bit of a struggle with erratic sleep and feeding schedules. Life and goals are taking shape parallelly, with a little more coordination between Rishi and me to include Nihal.”
Gul got hitched to Rishi in 2011. She is a fitness enthusiast and talking about her fit body after pregnancy, she said, “Nihal was born prematurely so I didn’t put on too much weight. Even through the pregnancy, I took care to eat healthy and have always been very active, so it was easy to get back to my workouts and shed the extra kilos.” She also has a piece of advice for every one girl who is in their 30s and is planning to have a baby. She said, “I think having a baby is a very significant step in life, and like marriage, you should think it through carefully before committing to it. Have children when you are ready to welcome them and can raise them happily and responsibly, not when society says you must.”
