Chhavi Mittal shares what ‘motherhood can teach you’
Calling these changes a woman’s “superpowers”, she asked everyone to exercise them even with peers, adults, colleagues, friends, staff, parents, and spouses. “Imagine what we could achieve if only we did,” she said.
Chhavi emphasised that fathers, too, experience something similar. “Also, when I say motherhood, I actually mean parenthood. A big shoutout to the dads (like @mohithussein ) who believe in equal parenting without making it seem like a favour to anyone. Responsibility hai aapki, aur haq bhi,” she wrote, with a hashtag reading ‘equal parenting’.

Earlier, in an interaction with indianexpress.com, Dia Mirza had called motherhood “the most beautiful experience” of her life. “Like every working mother, I too felt the mom’s guilt. It definitely is tough and it hurts. The only way to deal with it is to ride the wave of the pangs of physical pain that you feel being separated from your child or just crying when you’re doing a video callwith your husband after you’ve seen your child. I guess everyone has their own way of dealing with it. But it is so important for children to be raised in an environment where they appreciate, respect, and understand that both their parents are going to seek a life that gives them the opportunity to live to their full potential,” she said, talking about mom’s guilt.

However, she recently wrote a long post on her Instagram handle while replying to an insensitive comment by a social media user on one of her posts.
Chhavi posted some pictures and reels from a beach which drew an insensitive comment.
“Breast cancer ke liye breast katna padta hai kya (Does one need to cut off the breasts for breast cancer),” a user posted.
The actress took a screenshot of it and replied sternly in a long post that read, “Yes. This insensitivity still happens. I recently posted some vacation pics/reels from a beach and this comment got my attention. My breasts are being discussed here like a commodity.

You’ve had a successful career in television. How did your role as a mother influence your professional choices?
Around 2012, I had signed a new show for Star Plus as the lead when I found out I was pregnant. The first person I informed was my producer, and together we decided it wouldn’t make sense to join a show only to take a sabbatical a few months later. That marked the point when I began transitioning out of active television, after working non-stop for years. Motherhood significantly influenced my career choices. I wanted to be a hands-on parent, and didn’t want to miss any of my daughter’s milestones. My husband and I wanted to do everything together — from vacations to shopping, dinners and lunches. Eventually, he also chose to take a break from his career as a television director, and we started our own venture. Thankfully, we took the right steps, and it became successful enough for us to pursue it as a career.
What challenges did you face in the early stages of motherhood?
The biggest challenge for me was suddenly becoming a stay-at-home mom. I was used to working 30 days a month and led a very active lifestyle. We had been married for seven years before deciding to have kids. I believed that once the baby arrived, I would go back to work. But when my daughter Areeza (12) was born, everything changed. I couldn’t imagine leaving her even for a minute. For the first two years, I struggled to balance working and being a mother without feeling guilty about leavi
Chhavi Mittal shares the final chapter of her C-section delivery; says it has left a scar on her soul
In her previous post, Chhavi had shared she was administered drugs and rushed into the OT even when her dilation and everything else was progressing fine.Continuing her story, the actress told her followers that she convinced the doctors let Mohit, her husband, be with her in the OT.
She wrote, "And then everything that was not supposed to happen, happened. The cord was clamped in seconds. The baby came out crying &still was poked & prodded before being given to me. I heard my doctor laughing while pulling the baby out, “dekha? Pain free delivery”. And then the biggest horror! I was administered a sleeping injection without being asked, and suddenly I felt myself passing out. I found myself slurring when I said, "give my baby to me.. where's my baby.." I could not put my baby to the breast as I had so wanted to in the first few minutes. I slept till the next morning, waking up in panic repeatedly asking, “where’s my baby? Where’s my husband?” Scared shitless."
As a result, Chhavi is now having a difficult time establishing a good latch, and has painful stitches to deal with. Additionally, the actress is a mother of two and also a working professional. She asked in her post, " I have a scar, on my soul. Will I be able to heal from this ever?"
Chhavi further added, "But most importantly I have questions. Why was I given a drug to hasten dilation when I was already progressing fast? Why was my husband stopped from entering the OT when there was no such protocol? Why was the doctor in such a rush to perform the
