Speaking of the preparations they had done for the baby, Smriti Khanna had revealed, “We were in the process of making a nursery for the kid but have put that on hold for now.

Haven’t been able to make a final choice yet.”
Revealing her and Gautam’s first reaction when they got to know about her pregnancy, Smriti Khanna had recalled, “It was a planned pregnancy but obviously for every parent, it is overwhelming once you get the big news. I had pranked Gautam before so he was a bit confused when I told him this time.” Throwing some light on the challenges she had to face due to the COVID-19 lockdown, Smriti continued, “Before the lockdown, I was panicking a lot because everyone was moving in and out of the house all the time. But the lockdown relieved me a bit. But I still feel scared when I have to go for my doc visits and will need to be at the hospital for my delivery. There is limited information available regarding how COVID-19 could affect pregnant women or babies but I try to keep calm and distracted.”
When asked about the best part about being pregnant, Smriti Khanna had remarked, “All the pampering!! You can ask for anything and it’ll be there for you. Also, the feeling of growing a life inside you can’t be explained in words.” Revealing what she’ll miss the most about her pregnancy phase, Smriti had said, “Mostly the baby movements inside me. It’s the best feeling that only a mother can experience and of course all the attention that you get.” (Also Read: Karan Johar 'Gets Back' At His Twins, Yash And Roohi After Being Hilariously Trolled By Them)
