When a couple gets married, soon people start asking them ‘Good news kab de rahe ho?’ People start asking them to start their family before it gets too late! Married ladies are reminded to conceive as their biological clock will start ticking and are given many such reasons to have a baby. However, the truth being, there is no right age to conceive as we have seen many celebrities conceive at the ‘unconventional’ age (as per society standards). One of them is Kishwer Merchantt, who conceived naturally at the age of 40. (Also Read: New Mom, Anita Hassanandani Chants The 'Gayatri Mantra' Holding Her Son, Aaravv In Her Arms [Video])

So I am sure it will be sorted." The daddy-to-be had chipped in, "It's a beautiful feeling, I can't express in words. I mean I am super nervous and tensed too but moreover, it's a fabulous feeling."

Recalling the time when she had come to know about her pregnancy, Kishwer Merchantt had said, "So we got to know about our pregnancy on the 17th of January and by then I was already two-months pregnant but I just didn't realize it all. It was when I started feeling tired and low that it struck me that probably pregnancy could be the reason behind my lethargy. I got Suyyash to get the home pregnancy testing kits and that's when we got to know that I was expecting. It came as a shocker for us initially as we weren't expecting it at all. We hadn't planned it. It was like a big shocker in the beginning but it gradually turned into a pleasant surprise." Suyyash Rai had then added that they are really looking forward to the new chapter of their lives and had said, "It was a shocker for us first when we got to know about the baby but we now believe that it's a gift from God, it's his blessing. We really want to enjoy the new chapter of our life."
