In a throwback interview with Zoom Digital, Smriti Khanna had talked about the challenges she had faced in breastfeeding her daughter, Anayka Gupta and how her hubby, Gautam Gupta had supported her throughout. The doting mommy was quoted as saying, “I am breastfeeding and struggling with that. Every new mom struggles with breastfeeding. It is not spoken about so much in our country but it should be because it is such a struggle and if you plan to exclusively breastfeed your kid, then it is really hard. Maybe it is easier for some women and comes naturally to them, but I am facing a lot of problems and Gautam has been really supportive. He has been Googling and trying to show me all these videos like the perfect latch for the kid and all that. We are struggling but of course, are together in this, so it makes a huge difference.”
