Divyanka shared her first vlog by welcoming her fans. Husband Vivek Dahiya shared in the video about the reason behind not sharing vlogs on his channel. Vivek explained, "I was making vlogs, but I stopped. After that, I started getting a lot of messages every day asking why I had stopped. This was the reason, and now you probably have your answer. We didn’t want Divyanka to be seen in this condition until all the scans were done and the doctor gave a clear go-ahead. Until then, there was always a sense of fear, not because of you all, but in general.” (Photo: Instagram)

Vivek had planned a surprise for Divyanka where he had decorated an entire section with balloons and got a beautiful cake. Divyanka shared, "Let’s talk about how this thought started. People had been asking about it for the past 10 years, but I think our desire really began around Khatron or during Covid. Yes, it was around the same time. During Covid, he would go downstairs to work out and meet some cute kids there. He would enjoy spending time and working out with them, and I think that’s when these feelings started growing.” (Photo: Instagram)

Vivek said, "Yes, actually, I used to play with some kids in the building, and I really started enjoying it. I felt like I could get used to that feeling every day, it brought so much joy and happiness." Divyanka added, "Around that time, I was leaving for Khatron, and Vivek gave me a very special moment. The night before I left, he did all my packing, and then said something very sweet, ‘maybe it’s time.’ I can never forget that moment." (Photo: Instagram)

The couple, who had been married for 10 years now, also revealed how after covid, they started to have a feeling of embracing parenthood. Divyanka and Vivek shared, "We were very focused on work because we both love it, and we stayed in that cycle for a long time. Then, after the incident in Italy where we were robbed, things changed for us. After that experience, we felt the need to have someone of our own, our own child, who would comfort us and say, ‘Don’t worry, mom and dad, everything will be okay.’” A companion of joys and sorrows.

Vivek talked about how understanding their parents have been in their journey and they never pressurised the couple to start a family. Vivek said, "This is something I really want to talk about. Many people think that our parents, whether mine or hers, put pressure on us, but that was never the case. We always felt that we were not ready, and a baby should only happen when both partners are truly ready. It should not be because of pressure from society or family. Of course, everyone’s situation is different, and everyone’s body clock is different too. So we are not saying that others should wait the same way we did.” (Photo: Instagram)

Divyanka said, "We have come a long way and taken a big chance. Yes, we took that step, and now it feels like the right time to embrace it. We stayed very positive, even though it took time for things to fall into place. Still, we always had faith in each other. Somehow, we had a strong feeling that something would happen by the end of 2025. That’s why I even stopped taking up work. I felt that if I started something new and then conceived, it might affect the work. I don’t know, but it felt like a strong instinct from God, and in a way, I was already preparing myself for this.” (Photo: Instagram)

Vivek further revealed in the vlog that Divyanka has conceived naturally. Vivek revealed, “And by the way, for everyone who is curious to know, this is a natural pregnancy.” Divyanka added, “All the modern methods that are available today to help people conceive have supported so many couples, and we truly appreciate science.” (Photo: Instagram)

Divyanka, “I was very confused because these strip tests are not always clear. Sometimes you can see the red line, and sometimes you can’t. In my case, I felt like there was a line, but I couldn’t see it properly. So I clicked a picture and zoomed in. It was a very faint line. I thought maybe there is something, but it wasn’t clear. I kept testing again and again over the next few days. I had so many test strips. Finally, we got confirmation after doing a blood test.” (Photo: Instagram)

She continued, "Then there was relief—huge relief. When you are so confused and unsure, and finally get the result, it feels like everything is clear. But after that, something suddenly changes. A sense of motherly care begins to grow. Once the feeling really sinks in, I started slowing down in life.” (Photo: Instagram)

Vivek said, "I had a mild panic attack. Even though I was mentally prepared, when it actually happened, it felt overwhelming. I thought these things are quite complicated. So we decided to give it some time and let everything happen naturally and smoothly. I held myself back from getting too excited at first, but now I am finally feeling happy and excited.” (Photo: Instagram)
