However, happy and jolly things seem from the surface, it's not at all easy to become a mother. Smriti Khanna had touched the topic of postpartum depression in an interview with The Times of India. To begin with, she had emphasised on the importance of educating a woman on breastfeeding, pregnancy and postpartum depression, as the latter is a big deal, yet, not much spoken about. Smriti had said, “I have realised that even if you speak good on social media and educate people about pregnancy and mother, haters will still troll you. I felt that people did not discuss much about pregnancy, weight issues, breastfeeding."
