When a woman embraces motherhood, she is expected to re-organise her priority list. For the world, you are never enough but for your kids, you are their entire world. Being a mother is a 24*7 thankless job for which you get paid only with smiles, kisses and lots of giggles. It is not at all an easy ride, and mind you, it gets bumpier with the passage of time. But it is your choice whether you want to be a happy mommy or a nagging mommy. And Bollywood actress, Shilpa Shetty Kundra chooses to be the former one.

In February, Shilpa Shetty Kundra and her hubby, Raj Kundra had given a sweet surprise to their fans when they had announced the arrival of their second child via surrogacy. Yes, Shilpa had shared a glimpse of her daughter's little hand on her Instagram handle. Along with it, she had written a cute post and revealed the meaning of her baby's name. She had revealed that ''Sa'' in Sanskrit is "to have", and ''Misha'' in Russian stands for "someone like God". Hence, her little girl, Samisha's name personifies goddess Laxmi.
Recently, Shilpa Shetty Kundra was invited on Neha Dhupia's show, No Filter Neha, wherein she opened up on embracing motherhood for the second time. The actress shared that it is a cake-walk for her this time around. Shilpa also cheered for herself and talked about her gutsy decision of taking the decision at the age of 45. She said, "I think yoga has made a big difference to what I used to be 10 years ago. I remember I did have a few meltdowns after Viaan because when you’re this first time mom, it’s very daunting and it just hits you. So it was difficult the first time around but now I feel it’s like a cakewalk. #Guts to me, I am 45 and I’ve had another child. I’ll be 50 and my child is 5."

Talking about people's reaction when Shilpa had shared her baby arrival announcement, the actress said that she doesn't pay much attention to them. Shilpa further added, "I don’t care to pay too much attention for other people’s opinions and judgments on me because it’s really not their place. I am doing my best as a mother. However people perceive me to be, I really want to bring my child up the way my parents brought us up. The only difference is obviously we were brought up in a smaller home with a lot lesser in terms of facilities but the same amount of love, if not more." Shilpa also shared that whatever she has been able to achieve in professional and personal life is all because of her hubby, Raj Kundra, who has been a pillar of support for him.
Shilpa had shared a beautiful note on the occasion of her daughter, Samisha's first Raksha Bandhan. She had posted a dreamy picture and had written, "Today and this moment is sooo special for us all, as Viaan-Raj and Samisha celebrate their first Rakhshabandhan They say, 'our siblings are our first best friends', right here is the beginning of a 'forever' kinda friendship Viaan-Raj has always wanted and prayed for a lil sister - and his dream and ours has come true, making today extra special. I'm glad that they will always have each other to fall back on... someone to love unconditionally, talk to , crib about, yet be fiercely protective Tell your sibling today, how much you love them; and if they're around you, don't forget to give them a tight hug! Happy Raksha Bandhan to my Instagram #HappyRakshaBandhan." (Don't Miss: Riddhima Kapoor Sahni Misses Her Dad, Late Rishi Kapoor, Shares Photo From Last year's Diwali Party)
