Sana Khan, who quit showbiz in October 2020 and married Surat-based businessman, Maulana Anas Saiyad, is expecting her first child. The 35-year-old former actress, who participated in ‘Bigg Boss 6’ and also featured in films like ‘Jai Ho’, ‘Halla Bol’, ‘Wajah Tum Ho’, and ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, is due in June. While sharing her excitement with us, she says, “We are ecstatic and looking forward to welcoming our baby. Imagine something growing inside you made of your flesh and blood. Having children is the most beautiful part of life.”
Talking to us about the initial days of pregnancy, Sana, who is in her third trimester, says, “The initial days were tough. I couldn’t get out of bed because of severe aversions, fever, and vomiting. There were times when I would sit and cry because of hormonal changes. I still feel nauseous at times. I have a newfound respect for mothers. When the body is transforming, weight is the first thing that comes to your mind, but I am not bothered about it because it is important that the baby gets vital nutrients and is healthy. Aise hi upar wale ne maa ka darja itna bada nahi kiya hai. I can feel my baby playing and moving at full speed inside me throughout the night. My child is definitely giving me sleepless nights (laughs!). I am most excited about shopping for baby clothes.”
Sana hopes to have more children. She says, “I regret marrying late, as that has delayed everything. However, finding my soulmate was most important. If I had a choice, I would love to have a nursery full of kids! For now, Anas and I can’t wait to hold this bundle of joy in our arms.”
