‘It’s like I have a new life’

Actor Deepika Singh (right) of Diya Aur Baati fame, who recently shared the news of her pregnancy with her fans, is ecstatic.

“I am so excited. It’s like a new life. I’m taking care of my health. Earlier I used to jump and run all the time, but now I walk cautiously. I feel a sense of responsibility. All the yoga and fitness I’ve done all these years, is helping me during pregnancy.”

Deepika adds, “I couldn’t believe I was pregnant. I read the pregnancy kit instructions again and again. I’d seen such things only in films and TV shows, so I got goosebumps to know it was true.”

Now that she’s enjoying me-time at home, she says she’s keeping busy. “I am reading all my books. In the last five years, I have read nothing but scripts and screenplays,” Deepika says.

Was pregnancy the reason she didn’t take up new projects ctor Vaani Kapoor (left), who starred in Aditya Chopra’s 2016 film Befikre, hopes the “fantastic rumour” that she has signed another film with him and Shah Rukh Khan comes true. The actor, when asked about reports as per which, Chopra is keen to sign her opposite SRK, said, “I hope it happens. It is a fantastic rumour, which I hope after her show went off air? Deepika replies, “No. In fact, I got a couple of offers even before the show wrapped up, but I wanted to take a break, travel and enjoy life. I feel work will happen for the rest of the life.”
