She shared that initially, everyone thinks that after giving birth, everything would return to normal. However, that’s not the case. Revealing she gained 32 kilos after her son’s birth and was traumatised due to the same, Sonam added:
“I gained 32 kilos. Honestly, initially, I was traumatised, in a way where you know even though people say it, you feel like once the child comes out, you'll be back to normal. I know honestly you feel like everything is going to be fine and you're so obsessed with your baby, you're really not thinking about like working out or eating right and stuff like that cuz initially you're breastfeeding, and you're in pain, and there's so much going on.”

“It took me a year and a half to, I took it really slow. You have to be slow because you need to adjust to the new you and everything in your life changes. Your relationship with yourself changes, with your parents change, with your husband (change), everything changes, and you cannot rush into feeling, you're never going to feel the way you used to feel about yourself, about anything. You're never going to feel the same way about your body, and I just feel like your body is a metaphor for what your life a new life and it's a new change.”

I'm never going to look the way I looked at 16 I'm never going to look the way I looked at 25, and now I'm 38, and this is the way I am I've had a baby, and it's this body has made this child and that's incredible and you have to accept it and you have to take your time in accepting it and um and once that acceptance comes then you start dressing like I've always dressed for my body.”
