Sonam Kapoor Ahuja has an impeccable maternity style and her sartorial choices were always bold and eye-catchy. In an interview with Vogue India, Sonam talked about her maternity fashion and gave a befitting reply to people who trolled her for not covering her baby bump. The new mommy shared that if someone says something negative about her on social media, she wouldn't mind as it's none of her business. In her words:
"I think the one thing I have grown out of is reacting to things I don’t need to react to. Thankfully, a lot of it has come with age, but it’s also because I understand that I live a very charmed life. I come from a place of extreme privilege and I literally have nothing to complain about, so if someone is saying something negative about me from behind a keyboard, it really is none of my business. If I put out something to celebrate my body and my womanhood today, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. I have always been the kind of person to publicly discuss issues like dark circles, PCOS, weight gain and stretch marks."
Sonam Kapoor had been thinking about starting a family for some months now, and she finally announced her pregnancy in 2022. In the same interview, when the actress was asked if she had a pandemic baby, she revealed that she and her hubby, Anand wanted to wait for two years after their marriage to have a baby. However, soon pandemic happened, so their plans got delayed. Reflecting on the same, she said:
"We wanted to wait two years after we got married to start trying. Then, the pandemic happened. We were in Delhi at Anand’s parents’ home at the beginning of the pandemic and we just decided that the timing was right because we didn’t understand the severity of Covid. We went into lockdown soon after and things just kept getting graver, so we decided to wait. I remember when my birthday came around in June, I told Anand, 'This is it, I don’t think we can wait anymore.' We’d already done all my check-ups with multiple doctors in Mumbai and London and everything looked fine, so we decided to go for it."

Further in the interview, when Sonam was asked if her parents, Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor are thrilled to have a grandchild, the actress revealed that her dad is scared. She also shared how her father used to visit temples and pray for a grandchild long before she got pregnant and added that he got emotional when she broke the good news to him. She concluded:
"I think my dad is scared. He doesn’t see himself as a grandparent—for a long time, he didn’t even see himself as a parent—but he was the one who got emotional when I told him I was expecting. Before I broke the news to them and Mum and he were visiting some temples around the area. Now, Dad isn’t particularly religious or spiritual, so when Mum jokingly asked him what he was going to pray for, and he responded, 'A grandchild,' she was shocked. One of the most amazing things about Dad is that he has always focused on his daughters’ careers. With him, it was never about 'Who are you dating' or 'You need to get married.' He always said, 'Settle down when you’re ready and if you want, you can even stay at home for the rest of your life'."
