To announce the best news of her life, Smriti Khanna had posted a family picture with the newbie parents looking at each other with smiles on their faces as the 29-year-old star had held her baby girl in her arms.

Gautam had written, “Daddy’s bundle of joy!” To which, Smriti had commented, “My lifelines” followed by a heart.
In an interview with Zoom Digital, Smriti Khanna had spoken about managing her baby without any help, due to the pandemic lockdown. Smriti had said, “It is a little tough and I am managing right now, given the COVID situation so I could not call anybody. I had booked a nurse but then she was supposed to come from Aurangabad and even locally, we are not able to find anyone because of the containment areas and some areas are sealed. So whoever we are trying to get from anywhere, are not allowed to leave their places. So I am managing without help. But, there is no feeling like being a mother.”
Revealing how they are managing the safety of their newborn daughter, Anayka and the precautions they are taking at home, Smriti Khanna had continued, “When I had to come back from the hospital, one day prior to that, everybody in the family did their COVID test. We got it in writing from our doctor because you don’t know how the immunity of a newborn child is going to be and what the situation is. So the doctor gave us in writing and that’s how we got everyone tested in our family and the cook or guard we have at home. So we got them also tested for COVID because they too are going to be around. I can’t lock myself in one room. I have to move out of the room or go to the kitchen, so there were safety measures we had to take care of. So, every member of the family and the help that we had, we got everyone tested. Other than that, everyone is doing the extra sanitising, sterilising everything and very limited people are allowed in my room. We are taking small safety measures as much as we can, not that we can 100 per cent control anything but whatever we can, we are doing all of it.” (Also Read: Smriti Khanna's Befitting Reply To Trolls, Who Targeted Her For Getting Back In Shape Post-Pregnancy)
