When asked how she managed to evade the media glare and keep it a secret, Gul shared, “Rishi and I have always valued our privacy. Becoming parents is a special experience and we decided that we’d like to go through it without the distraction of public attention. Family and close friends knew about Nihal but we refrained from posting anything on the social media. He is almost six months old and it has been a roller coaster ride! I’m charmed by his gurgles and giggles even if it is a bit of a struggle with erratic sleep and feeding schedules. Life and goals are taking shape parallelly, with a little more coordination between Rishi and me to include Nihal.”
About naming her little bundle of joy Nihal, Gul stated, “We had a list of names from everyone and everywhere. Nihal means joy, success and victory that comes with the blessings of God. Rishi and I believe that leading principled, good lives leads to true and lasting success so the name resonated with us.” Gul went on to say, “Nothing prepares you for a baby but I’m grateful to my cousin Simran who’s been like a fairy godmother and guided me. We’re learning as parents and I think we’ll continue to do so till we’re old and grey.” (Also Read: Little Cutie Inaaya Naumi Kemmu Didn't Recognise Her Father Kunal Kemmu, Here's Why!)
She also revealed how it was like returning to her fitness regime post-pregnancy, “Nihal was born prematurely so I didn’t put on too much weight. Even through the pregnancy, I took care to eat healthy and have always been very active, so it was easy to get back to my workouts and shed the extra kilos.” Giving an advice to all the soon-to-be-mommies out there, who are preparing to embrace motherhood in their 30s, Gul was quoted as saying, “I think having a baby is a very significant step in life, and like marriage, you should think it through carefully before committing to it. Have children when you are ready to welcome them and can raise them happily and responsibly, not when society says you must.” (Also Read: Unseen Black And White Picture Of Taimur Ali Khan Sitting With Folded Legs Is Super Adorable)
