MUMBAI: With her hard work, Gouri Tonnk has carved a niche for herself in the telly land. The actress was last seen in the hit TV show Shakti- Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki.
On the personal front, she is married to Yash Tonnk. The two have been married for 19 years now and are parents to two beautiful daughters Pari, 17 and Myrah, 4. The couple had their second baby after 13 years of gap and Gouri spoke to ETimes TV about the difficulties she faced after second child birth, weight loss issues and more. When she was asked about the difficulties she faced after second child birth, she said, “Myrah is a very demanding child. When Myrah was born, for two and a half years I was only looking after her. Those two years were very challenging for me. I didn’t understand what is happening to me. With Pari, my percentage of going haywire was much less than what I went through with Myrah. I wasn't able to understand what is happening. I wouldn't get sleep. I wouldn't feel hungry and even if I felt hungry, I wouldn't get time to eat because my child needed me at that time. At this time, I will mention that my mother and Pari both helped and supported me a lot. Pari would take take charge. When she sees me, I'm confused or stressed she'll come and will say that mommy ‘Go to sleep’ ‘First eat something’, ‘I'm taking care of Myrah’. The situation has suited me well and I have taken it positively. Would tell all the mothers who are thinking of having a baby after a big gap - Please go for it. I feel happy that I forced myself to have a second baby and it's working for me so well.”

Further, Gouri Tonnk spoke about the weight issue that new moms face. She said, “Celebrity moms getting trolled comes out in the open. People do comment on the pregnancy fat. I just feel you need to avoid the negativity. Don’t listen to people who say all this. All moms have to hear all this post giving birth to a child. I know many mothers get tensed and feel pressurized to lose weight soon after giving birth. Just calm down and let your kid grow. Don’t take stress and I am saying this because I also did feel stressed.”
“During my first pregnancy I didn’t feel because I was quiet young and lost the pregnancy weight quite early. I started gymming early. The second time I was 37. As I told you, Myrah is a very demanding child. So, I had to calm down myself. First of all, you need prioritise health. If you are stressed to lose weight, you’ll only end up adding extra,” she added.
