Mumbai: 'Singham' fame actor Kajal Aggarwal and Gautam Kitchlu on Thursday revealed the name of their new born baby boy, Neil Kitchlu.
The couple were blessed with a baby boy on April 19, 2022. Taking to Instagram, the 36-year-old actor posted a note sharing her experience of childbirth and motherhood.
In the post, she shared her experience of giving birth, "Excited and elated to welcome my baby Neil into this world. Our birthing was exhilarating, overwhelming, long, yet the most satisfying experience there could be!"
She also explained her feeling after holding her firstborn, "Holding Neil upon my chest covered with white mucous membrane and placenta within seconds of his birth has been my only tryst with self actualisation and such an indescribable feeling! That one moment made me understand the deepest potential of love, made me feel tremendous amount of gratitude and realise the responsibility of my heart outside of my body - forever - and all at the same time."
She also shared the experience in last couple of days after giving birth, "Ofcourse it's not been easy- 3 sleepless nights that bleed into early mornings, learning to latch and burp, squishy bellies and stretched skin, frozen pads, breast pumps, uncertainty, constant worry if you're doing it all right, all topped with dozes of anxiety."
She further posted, "But it's also moments like these - Sweet cuddles in the wee hours of the morning, gazing into each other's eyes with a look of confident recognition, adorable little kisses, the quiet moments when it's just the two of us, growing, learning, discovering each other and navigating this wonderful journey together. In reality, postpartum isn't glamorous but it sure can be beautiful."
