Mumbai: As the news of actress Kalki Koechlin's pregnancy surfaced on the internet, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap extended his best wishes for the mother-to-be.
The Dev D actress, who is five months pregnant with her boyfriend Guy Hershberg, recently opened about her ex-husband's reaction to her pregnancy news.
In a recent interview with a leading news portal, the actress revealed that Kashyap welcomed her to the parent's club with open arms and asked her to let him know if she needed any help.
Speaking about Kashyap's reaction, the 35-year-old actress said: "He’s just welcomed me to the parents’ club and told me to call if I need anything."
She further added: "Seeing Aaliyah (Anurag’s daughter) growing up and my own brother Oriel too, I’ve already got a glimpse into this role of a lifetime."
Surprising fans with the news of her pregnancy, the actress revealed that she has been aiming for a water birth since the process is known to be less traumatizing for the mother and the child.
Talking about coping with her pregnancy, the actress said: "God, the first three months were terrible! I have developed so much respect for all the mothers out there who work or have to go through all this without emotional support. The second trimester is fun. I have the energy to work-out and I am cheerful at work. The kicks are amazing. Feels like there’s a little footballer in there!"
Gearing up for their child together, both Kalki and Guy have picked names for both genders.
Speaking about this incredible journey, she said: "It’s too early to speak of motherhood, but I can say that pregnancy wakes you up. It heightens your awareness physically through your sense of smell, taste, breath and body awareness. Mentally, it guides you to not retaliate but respond in stressful situations. It is an emotional state of daily discovery and excitement which outweighs the ups and downs of mood swings. Let’s see what the third trimester brings."
The Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani star is expecting her child sometime around December or early January.
