Being a mother will be exciting, more than challenging: Sunidhi

Singer Sunidhi Chauhan (left) and husband, music composer Hitesh Sonik, have been married for five years and the couple is expecting their first child. Five months into pregnancy, Sunidhi feels that the new chapter of motherhood is going to be an exciting phase of her life, as she will now get to balance her personal and professional life.

“There is no preparation right now because I don’t know what to do,” she says. “I am totally clueless, but thankfully we have our families to take care of that part. It’s [motherhood] going to be exciting, more than challenging. Things would be different, but since I am great with multi-tasking, I will still continue singing,” says Sunidhi, who is due to deliver in December.

The 34-year-old says that her conversations with people revolve only around pregnancy now.

“All I do, when I meet people, is talk about it. I keep talking about ‘how it is’ , ‘what should I do’ and ‘how it is going to be’. So, that definitely is a change I have noticed in me. There used to be other conversations with people, but this is all that’s there to talk about now. This is the topic of the season for me,” laughs Sunidhi.

The singer, known for tracks such as Kamli, Desi Girl, Navrai Majhi and Saaki, is also taking tips from her friends, who have already experienced motherhood and are now raising kids.

“Thankfully, I have some friends who are parents and they know how this all goes. When something like this happens, you happen to come across more such people, who are experiencing parenthood and that is what is happening to me right now,” says Sunidhi, who has decided to stop doing live shows after October, when she will be in her third trimester.
