She had her baby boy Krishiv in October 2020, has lost weight and is focussing totally on her fitness. Puja spoke about her weight loss, battling depression and her determination to get back to work.

She mentioned, “A pregnant woman goes through a lot of changes in her body. Even post delivery, you are going through hormonal changes and you are trying to cope with it. At this time, you need plenty of care and pampering. Due to the pandemic, people could not visit me or keep me company or make me feel better. My mother came from Kolkata quite late because we had to take precautions during the pandemic. I felt quite lonely during the pregnancy and even after that.

After Krishiv was born, 100 other jobs and responsibilities came up and we did not have any help or support. In these times, even a small issue can cause some kind of an upheaval and you end up feeling depressed. On the one hand you are constantly running after the child, not sleeping enough and on the other hand, there is anxiety that you have to lose weight and get back to work. In many ways, the pandemic too contributed to the depression. But, now after losing weight, I am feeling much better and am happy and comfortable with my body.

I don't have a nanny for my child, so I could not work out, but I went on a diet. I stopped eating carbs and sugar. In the evenings, I used to have light dinner that included soup and grilled chicken. I kept having fruits throughout the day. I have lost almost 10 kilos now and feel much more confident. Running after my child gave me a good work out. Seeing my husband climb 36 floors when he could not go to gym also inspired me to become fitter.”

Way to go Puja!
