Barkha is a cool mom; Indraniel is a possessive dad

Barkha Bisht and Indraneil Sengupta got married on 2 March, 2007 after two years of courtship. Both of them have made their mark as credible actors in the entertainment industry. But their bliss-filled life got an extra coat of happiness and satisfaction after they had their first child, a baby girl called Meira. The little bundle of joy was born in Delhi on 10 October 2011 at 5:14 pm. “The feeling is amazing but it is yet to sink in. My focus is completely on my child now. For so many years I have concentrated on my career but now it is all about my baby. But I do want to get back to work but not for the next two or three months” says Barkha. It is natural that during pregnancy a woman goes through mood swings. So did she wake up Indraneil late in the night and fight for a piece of ice-cream, “No (laughs). He is a lucky husband. I had a very quiet phase of pregnancy. That’s why Meira is also a quiet child. I have heard horror stories of mums staying awake for nights. But I sleep in peace,” says the actress. Furthermore, she says that she will be a cool mom and will treat her daughter like a friend when she grows up. “I am not that possessive as a mother. But yes, Indraneil is,” informs Barkha. Does her husband change Meira’s diapers? “No he does not and I don’t think he will do it (laughs). But yes, the way he has connected to the child, it’s amazing,” says Barkha. We also talked to Indraneil who couldn’t stop laughing during the conversation and sounded like one proud and happy father. “The feeling of becoming a father is overwhelming. Yes, there are lots of responsibilities which I have to fulfill as a parent but right now I just cannot take my eyes of Meira.” The photo above depicts the happiness and contentment in Barkha’s and Indraneil’s eyes. “I can’t really imagine how a mother can love her child so much in a span of few days. The attachment is divine. I love my daughter and want her to always smile in life,” signs off Barkha.
