Sonam Kapoor opens up on her life’s most magical moment
Mumbai– Actress Sonam Kapoor opened up on the most magical moment of her life when she delivered her baby and he was in her arms.
The actress opened up in detail about her pregnancy at an event in Mumbai on Monday.
Talking about the most magical moment of her life, Sonam said: “When I delivered my baby and he was in my arms, it was one of the best things I felt. There is a feeling of euphoria. I had a natural birth and it was the most amazing moment. My husband was next to me and the doctor who helped me deliver the baby was my mother’s close friend. I had the people who love me around me — my parents, my sister, my in-laws. It was just the best moment of my life. It is really life changing when you give birth to a child.”
Sharing about her diet during her pregnancy, the actress said: “My doctor in London told me to eat a balanced inflammatory diet which is basically Indian Khana. So I had dal, roti, and bhaji. If you are a non vegetarian you can have chicken, fish and dahi. So I had a balanced diet, did walking and a bit of exercise. It really helped me. I had a great pregnancy as I kept it easy and simple.”
On the workfront, Sonam was last seen in a crime thriller film ‘Blind’ directed by Shome Makhija.
The film featured her in a leading role with Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak and Lilette Dubey in supporting roles.

Vicky Kaushal’s character bhajan master suffer identity crisis in ‘The Great Indian Family’ trailer
New Delhi– The trailer for the Vicky Kaushal and Manushi Chhillar-starrer film ‘The Great Indian Family’ has the looks of a typical Bollywood rom-com, with a complex family drama and emotional twists.
Being a young and charismatic, undisputed master of bhajan singing, has made Vicky the heart throb of his town, but also ruined his romantic life.
However, the crux of the trailer lies in Vicky’s lead character suffering with an identity crisis as he learns about his roots.
The trailer shows Vicky as Bhajan Kumar, a young man with a vibrant life, a big loving family who is the master of bhajan singing and is fully rooted into the traditions of his family.
Appearing to be a full on comedy, throughout the trailer initially, Bhajan Kumar is narrating his life, calling himself the ‘undisputed’ master of bhajan and pooja-paath, and the heart throb of the town of Balrampur.
However, his position as a bhajan singer has put him in a funny position, because in such a young age where he also is a normal guy who likes to meet with girls, the women in Balrampur seek his blessings rather than look at him with a romantic eye.
In the midst of searching for someone, Vicky ends up finding Manushi Chhillar, whom he instantly gets attracted to.
A strong minded and independent woman, Manushi’s character, is not only a love interest for him, but also a turning point for Bhajan Kumar’s life.
After that, he is engaging in a standard and vibrant life with his friends and family where nothing is going wrong, until one day he finds a document which reveals that he was in fact born as a Muslim.
This suddenly turns his life around, because a full on staunch Hindu and a massive devotee, people begin to look at him with a completely different eye. His family estranges him, while the Muslim community of the town is chasing after him in anger.
Here, he starts saying that God has a morbid sense of humour, as he has put him in such a difficult position.
A rollercoaster ride of emotions, ‘The Great Indian Family’ despite having a good deal of family drama, comedy and romance is not the light hearted fun ride it appeared to be initially.
The music for the movie was already very well done, and from the trailer it has become only more apparent that the movie features some top notch production, with bright colours and great set designs.
Vicky’s avatar as Bhajan Kumar is very different from his early take as Udham Singh in ‘Sardar Udham’, showcasing his versatility and acting range.
Manushi on the other hand, after her debut in the Akshay Kumar-starrer- ‘Prithivraj’, is expanding on her acting skills. Here she will be starring alongside another big ensemble cast, which apart from Vicky, also includes Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Sadiya Siddiqui and Alka Amin.
The film is directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Yash Raj Films, with the music composition by Pritam.
A strong family drama, with a bit of action, ‘The Great Indian Family’ will hit theaters on September 22.

He then said: “What can be an opportunity of greater pride for us, than to be at the very start of India’s crossing.

Sharing several pictures of himself standing alongside BSF soldiers, including a regiment of the President’s Guard donning all traditional gear, he wrote on Instagram: “My dear Indians! By God’s grace I have had many opportunities in my life which have made me proud. Sometimes on my achievements and sometimes for my country.”
He continued: “But standing at the Attari-Wagah border and witnessing the #BeatingThe Retreat ceremony, it is very difficult to describe in words the feelings that I am feeling, all the while when thousands of my fellow countrymen are shouting out our slogans with pride and waving our tricolor.”
“Listening to this roaring cry, there is a rush of massive patriotism that courses through my body and tingles within its every fibre. Thank you DIG #SanjayGaur and the entire team of #bsfpanjab for the love and warmth. It was an honour and a privilege to be at this historical ceremony! Jai Hind! #Goosebumps,” he added.
After that, the actor walked among waving at the crowd while being surrounded by BSF soldiers, who were themselves smiling and shouted back ‘Jai Hind’ to all the other onlookers, in this massive ceremony. (IANS)
