Pooja Banerjee opens up on working during pregnancy

Actor Pooja Banerjee has been a total trooper ever since she announced and confirmed her pregnancy. It has been a while since that and ever since then she hasn't stopped working.

Now sporting a baby bump, Banerjee is still working and that too in these dire conditions of COVID-19. Talking about it with ETimes TV, she said, “When I asked my doctor if I should be resting or working, he said one needs to rest in the first three months of pregnancy. Post that, you should be active and hence, I could continue working. I discussed it with my family, too, and they felt it was best as it would keep my mind occupied. And this is what makes me happy, too."

She added, “I have reduced my total working hours. It was totally my decision to keep working till I can during my pregnancy. I’m glad that I got support from my partner (Sandeep Sejwal) and family. Every woman should have a choice to make a decision for herself if she wants to work during her pregnancy or not. No matter what she chooses to do, everyone should support her and be there for her.”

The rising cases of Covid-19 is a concern, when asked about that, she said, “I take all precautions and I’m being very careful. Working in these times is making me feel more confident,” she says. So, will she be taking a break after the baby is born? “Yes, I will take a break from work for a while after my baby is born because that’s important for me and the baby,” she concluded.

Banerjee currently plays Rhea Mehra on Kumkum Bhagya.
