New mommy in town,
Amrita Rao is having the best time of her life and enjoying motherhood. Amrita and
RJ Anmol
welcomed their first baby on November 1. Recently, they shared the first glimpse of their baby and revealed his name -
Veer. Calling it the ‘best feeling in the world’, Amrita spoke to ETimes and shared her experience of becoming a mother to Veer. Though the couple has already got their special gift ahead of Diwali, she revealed how the family will celebrate the festival of lights with a new member this year. The actress also took a walk down the memory lane and spoke about fond memories of Diwali with ‘
Main Hoon Na
’ team
Sushmita Sen,
Farah Khan and
Zayed Khan and much more! Excerpts:
Firstly congratulations on your baby! How would you sum up your experience as a new mother? A new mother is as newborn as her child. Every minute is a new learning. The headspace currently is a heart full of gratitude to God for the best feeling in the world.
This Diwali will be extra special since it will be your first with your baby. What do you have to say since firsts are always memorable? This Diwali will truly be special with our newborn. The family is all together so our son Veer will be celebrating his first Diwali full Barjatya style with his dada-dadi, nana-nani, his bua and masi and of course his parents.
When will we get to see the first picture of Veer? Well that's a question we both parents might take some time to answer.
What are your plans for Diwali this year? This Diwali will be at home. We are not sending any gifts nor expecting any because safety comes first, emotions later. We will personally call and wish our dear friends and relatives. There will be no crackers. Diwali is a festival of lights and we will be celebrating it the way it should be minus the crackers with just the diyas and lights.
Any Diwali memories from your childhood which you can recall? Yes, there are plenty, but the one I fondly recall is the one Diwali evening that we spent at Sushmita Sen's house on the rooftop which has a glass ceiling. This was during the ‘Main Hoon Na’ shoot days. Farah, I and Zayed were there. There was mutual admiration, respect, and double celebration of Diwali plus the excellent work and bonding that was happening on set. It was quite a perfect Diwali evening.
Diwali ki mithai that you binge on without feeling guilty? I love the chocolates with nuts and the barfis.
If you had to describe yourself as a cracker, what would that be? It would be the Phul Jhadi, it looks tiny and unassuming but the minute you light and say action it sparkles galore and ensures a lasting smile.
