It was in October last year that Anita Hassanandani announced her pregnancy. She shared a video where the 39-year-old actress and her husband Rohit Reddy re-live their romance, with shots that include moments of their engagement and the exchange of wedding vows. Rohit is seen kissing Anita's baby bump at one point.
Earlier in an interview, Anita opened up on embracing motherhood. The actress said, "I was just excited to embrace it, it did not even cross my mind. Weight is the smallest thing, if you want you can lose it. Right now, I just want to enjoy this phase and embrace motherhood. I have worked all of my life and worked hard, now is the time to focus on my motherhood phase. I want to enjoy every moment. I am in no hurry. It is okay, weight will go. When the doctor tells me that I can put on 12-15 kgs, I am like I can put on whatever is needed, because I want to relish these moments."
The actress also said that her husband Rohit is quite excited about the pregnancy. "Rohit is very excited and thrilled. We already have a pet together and he is very involved with Mowgli as well. So, as a parent, I know he will be 100 per cent an active father. He is really looking forward to fatherhood. I think he is already so responsible, so excited, I am getting to see new sides to him. I think it is an exciting phase and we both are looking forward to it", she says.
Speaking about her work, Anita and Tusshar Kapoor will co-star in a new film, after almost two decades. The two actors, who were seen together in the 2003 films "Kucch To Hai" and "Yeh Dil", unite for the mystery thriller "Maarrich", which also stars Naseeruddin Shah.
