Celebrity Anita Rani: ‘Grief caught up with me’
Anita has previously confessed that she doesn’t know whether she will ever be a mum – and isn’t in any rush.

41 is no way how my mother or grandmother felt at this age.
‘I just think everybody needs to relax a bit when it comes to children.’
In the meantime, Anita is happy to just be ‘fun Auntie Anita’ to her and Bhupi’s goddaughters and her niece – her brother’s daughter.
She said, ‘It’s easy when you’re fun. When you’re fun Auntie Anita you can do what you want!
‘It was my husband’s 40th recently and we have goddaughters who live three streets away. They came and brought him biscuits and made a special birthday banner.’ And it sounds like the children have a great time at her house. ‘We do lots of dancing in my house – music, dancing, spinning around, movies, ice cream, sweets,’ Anita said. ‘I’m sending your children home high on E-numbers! I’m not the one who has to put them to bed so it’s fine.’
Speaking during the country’s coronavirus lockdown she added,
‘It’s tough in lockdown because I’m missing my niece. Although I get daily videos on Whatsapp.’
