I wanted a girl the second time. I’m so happy that I have both (a son and a daughter) now. MOHENA KUMARI SINGH, Actor-dancer

Actor-dancer Mohena Kumari Singh recently welcomed her daughter into the world and she couldn’t be happier. Confirming the news of her second child’s birth to us exclusivel­y, the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor says: “I really wanted a girl the second time and so did Suyesh (Rawat, husband and politician-businessma­n). Everyone kept telling me that I would have another boy. I’m so happy that I have both now, I am feeling complete as a mother and a family.”

Singh says her daughter, who was born on March 31, has brought contentmen­t to their family. “I asked God to give me a daughter and it happened. It was a great feeling of contentmen­t; I am at peace now,” she tells us.

As for why the 35-year-old and her husband did not make an official announceme­nt, she says she has been busy “living my life authentica­lly”. “I am in my own world now; I don’t think about social media. I just live my life. If people get to know, they get to know. I don’t think, ‘Okay, now I have to show the photo’,” Singh reveals.

The couple’s first child, their son Ayaan, will celebrate his second birthday on April 15. “Everything is quite fresh; I am comparing her birth to [Ayaan’s]. With my first child, I did everything right. I did yoga and made sure that I didn’t eat outside at all; I was so satvik. I was stressed about doing this and not doing that,” she says. “With my second pregnancy, I let everything happen naturally. I didn’t stress and made sure that I enjoyed this time. It was a relaxed pregnancy,” she wraps up.
