Divyanka Tripathi Gets Candid About New Motherhood, Credits Vivek Dahiya For Constant Support

Motherhood comes with joy, responsibility and countless emotional adjustments. Divyanka Tripathi recently opened up about one such challenge, mom guilt, while discussing her journey as a new mother. During her appearance on Gauahar Khan's postpartum health podcast 'The Fourth Trimester', Divyanka shared her thoughts on returning to work, navigating parenthood and the importance of having a supportive partner.

The television personality and her husband Vivek Dahiya recently welcomed twin boys and are currently embracing the many changes that come with raising children.

Returning To Work After Motherhood:

Speaking candidly about resuming work after becoming a mother, Divyanka admitted that there is no single right or wrong answer when it comes to balancing career and family responsibilities.

“I don't have a right answer to this. I don't know what is right or wrong. All I know is that when this opportunity came along, I felt it was the best one for me because I only had to work one day a week, and the project would continue for several months. The strength to make this decision also came from my family. My husband assured me that he would be there for me, and the production team was extremely supportive and helpful."

Divyanka explained that the flexibility of the project, along with support from her family, gave her the confidence to return to professional commitments while caring for her children.

Learning Parenthood Together:

The new mother also reflected on how she and Vivek are navigating parenthood as a team. She acknowledged that becoming a parent is a learning process for both mothers and fathers.

“Even he is learning how to be a parent and how to navigate life with a woman who has also become a mother. Dealing with a mother who is hormonal is not easy. Thankfully, from everything I had been reading, I learnt one thing: after delivery, all the decisions tend to revolve around the babies. Even the advice you receive is centred around them, and sometimes the mother herself doesn't get enough support."

Importance Of Communication:

Divyanka further stressed the importance of open communication during the early stages of parenting. Recalling a conversation with Vivek, she revealed that she clearly communicated her emotional and practical needs.

“So, right at the beginning, I told Vivek that there would be times when I might ask him to do something, and I wouldn't want him to ask too many questions about why it needed to be done a certain way with the babies. At that point, I might not have the bandwidth to deal with that conversation. If he felt I was resisting a little, I told him to just let it be. As the kids grow, he is learning alongside me how to care for them. It's about caretaking, and he is learning how to take care of the kids too."

Through her honest reflections, Divyanka highlighted the realities of motherhood, emphasizing that support, patience and understanding play a crucial role in helping new parents navigate this life-changing journey.
