Bollywood actress Rani Mukherjee-Chopra posted online the first picture of her daughter, Adira, with husband, filmmaker Aditya Chopra.
In a heartfelt note shared along with the picture, Mukherjee-Chopra says she will always encourage Adira to follow her heart.
The actress said she is in the most beautiful phase of her life and becoming mother has helped her evolve as a human being.
“I have become much calmer. More patient.And more forgiving. It happened overnight one day suddenly. I realised I have changed, again for the better I guess.
“I hope I can bring [up] Adira beautifully.Without any fears, brave, wise, clever, disciplined, well mannered. I want everyone to be proud of her. Even if nobody is.I will always be proud of her.Encourage her to follow her heart. Not get bullied ever.Not to be pressurised for anything in life. Be carefree alway[s],” she wrote.
The actress said becoming a mother is “scary”. “I love my baby Adira.Can’t live or breathe without her. My life has changed.But for the better. But having a baby is so scary because you suddenly stop living for yourself.You live for you child.As [if] she has given birth to you.A mother!
The 38-year-old actress thanked God for the gift of motherhood.
“I am eternally grateful to the Almighty to have given me this blessing in form of Adira! I don’t know if anyone understands me at this point of my life.But I am going with the flow. I let anyone and everyone say things to me without reacting sometimes reacting also,” the note read.
Adira’s first birthday also marks the release of Chopra’s ambitious young rom-com Befikre, starring Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor.
