Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty appears on the cover of Hello magazine with her little son Viaan Raj Kundra on May issue. Spotted in an IPL match with mom Shilpa and aunt Shamita Shetty.
Both mummy and son are clad in white dress and looks absolutely stunning.
Here is an excerpt from the interview:
“I was painfully aware that a pregnancy after 35 was going to be a very different experience from what my mum might have knownAnd strangely, it was my mum who started nagging me five months after Viaan was born. She said, ‘I got back into shape six months after having you!’ And I reminded her she was just 23 when she had me!” said Shilpa.
“One day I had this scary moment when he started crawling at five months, and I wanted to pick him up, but I couldn’t stand up from my kneeling position. And that’s when it struck me, that my muscles weren’t strong anymore, and I had way too much weight on me. Now imagine when you’ve had an image as a fitness icon – pompous as it may sound – and you walk around 83 kilos, the pressure to lose weight is tremendous. You know there have been film song lyrics like Shilpa sa figure Bebo si ada, etc. People were sneering behind my back, challenging me to ever go back to who I was. People can be very, very mean about such things… particularly if you want to head back into the limelight. Just look at the way they were hounding Ash! But c’mon, stars are human too!”
On Viaan’s public appearance Shilpa said, “sooner or later, people will see him. I just wanted him to reach the one-year mark. Recently he made his debut in an IPL bib I designed for him; I wanted to take him to Jaipur for his first match as everybody wanted to see him.. you know the players, the staff… I brought him out for a night match as it was a pleasant 26 degrees Celsius, and he actually had a good time. He got to see so many people, screaming, excited. It was all fascinating for him.”
