Kiara breaks down in tears<\/p>\n

Recently, Kiara appeared on Raj Shamani\u2019s latest podcast episode, where she opened up about her struggles with postpartum after welcoming her baby girl with husband Sidharth Malhotra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kiara said, \u201cNobody talks about postpartum, and it should be spoken about more\u2026 It (motherhood) is such an identity shift. It is such a new world, and in that moment, it is difficult for the woman going through it to give herself grace. It takes time. It has taken me six months\u2026 In the past six months, I have just told myself: Just give yourself grace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause you are doing so much for everyone else that you forget about the relationship that you need to have with yourself. The things you need to tell yourself. For me, my whole life, I have been so other-centric that what’s changed since my baby was born is that I finally found time to nurture that relationship that I need to have with myself. And it is probably the best thing that I have done for myself. After 34 years, I have learnt to set boundaries. I have learnt not to do critical conversations with myself, because sometimes you are over-critical about everything that you are doing. I have learnt not to focus on fear. I had to teach myself all of these things in these six months,\u201d Kiara added.<\/p>\n

During the podcast, Kiara mentioned that \u201ceverything in you as a person, as a personality, everything changes\u201d after motherhood.<\/p>\n

Last year in July, Sidharth and Kiara took to Instagram to share the happy news of their baby girl\u2019s arrival. Their message read, \u201cOur hearts are full and our world forever changed. We are blessed with a baby girl. \u2013 Kiara & Sidharth.\u201d Following the announcement, the couple requested photographers to avoid taking pictures of their newborn. Later in the year, Kiara and Sidharth took to Instagram to reveal the name of their newborn daughter: Saraayah <\/a>Malhotra. The couple got married in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, in 2023. In 2021, they starred together in the war film Shershaah.<\/p>\n
