Ending January 2021 on a hilarious note, Smriti Khanna had released a video, Mummy Ji Ki Rap featuring herself, her hubby, Gautam Gupta and their daughter, Anayka Gupta. The video was a hilarious version of how the life of a couple changes after the birth of their child. From how the little one becomes the third wheel in their 'us' time to how the number one girl becomes number 2, Smriti and Gautam’s video was super-adorable and funny. Sharing a short clip of the song, Smriti had revealed her favourite part.
In a throwback interview with The Times of India, Smriti Khanna had spoken about the feeling of motherhood and how holding the little one makes everything worth it. She was quoted as saying, "The feeling of motherhood is something which can't be described in words, but it's amazing. It is a very different feeling and can't be compared to any other happiness. No matter how tired you are, how sleep deprived you, how much pain you have gone through when you hold that little baby in your hand. It's all worth it."
Revealing the meaning of their daughter's name and why they thought Anayka would be apt for the little one, Smriti Khanna had said, "Her name is Anaika. It means powerful and complete, I feel it resonates with the current situation. Complete because our family is complete now with her arrival. The baby has come after a long time in the house. Gautam is the elder brother and everyone was waiting for her. Powerful because she came during this time which makes her super strong. It is a blessing in disguise for us, no matter what the situation is outside."
