Comedian Bharti Singh has opened up about the emotional journey of the postpartum phase. Navigating through sleepless nights and intense emotions, she expressed how the long wait to finally hold her newborn son deepened the experience.
In a candid vlog on her YouTube channel, Bharti shared that her baby was under observation for a few days due to routine medical checks at the hospital.
“Do din baad Kaju mujhe mil raha hai kiyunki yahan par poora examination karte hai. Toh finally Kaju haath main aa raha hai…” (After two days, I finally get Kaju because they conduct a complete medical examination here in the hospital. So at last, Kaju is coming into my hands after two days.)
Reflecting on her visit to the nursery with her elder son, she revealed that Golla was visibly affected when he saw her holding the baby, whom she affectionately calls Kaju.
“Kaju ko milne gaye jab nursery main… Toh gole ka mooh aesa hogaya… mereko itna hua yaar ki turant hi chor diya usko…” (When we went to see Kaju in the nursery, Golle’s face looked different and I immediately handed Kaju back.)
“But isko pahel di jayegi thode din… Usko kya pata hai ke kya ho raha hai. But isme pooori samajh hai.” (We will give Golle the priority. There is so much understanding in him.)
Bharti also candidly discussed the emotional toll of the postpartum phase.
“Din top mera nikal jaata hai par raat badhi mushkil hoti hai. Postpartum jo effect hota hai woh bahut ho raha hai. Kal mera uth uth ke rona nikle jaaye… Bachcha aata hai fir chala jaata hai… Kabhi uska koi test karne le jaate ho.”
“(The day somehow passes, but nights are very difficult. The postpartum effect is very strong. Yesterday, I kept waking up and bursting into tears. The baby comes and then goes again — sometimes they take him away for some tests.)”
The nurse later brought Kaju to Bharti’s ward, and seeing her newborn son overwhelmed her with emotions.
“Kitna pyaara hai… So finally Kaju mere haath main aa chuka hai aur bahut hi pyaara, sundar aur healthy baby hai bilkul Golle ki tarah.” (He is so adorable. Finally, Kaju is in my arms. He is a very cute, beautiful, and healthy baby, just like Golla.)
Concluding on a joyful note, Bharti promised to introduce Kaju to her fans soon, saying: “Finally mera Kaju mere haath main hai.” (We will show him to you very soon. Finally, my Kaju is in my hands.)
