Actress Sanjjanaa Galrani pregnant; expecting first child in May 2022

Sanjjanaa Galrani is all set to become a mom and the baby is due in May 2022. “It’s incredible. I’m now five months into my pregnancy and have never been more thankful towards life. Somehow, I get this feeling that it’s going to be a boy,” she smiles.
Sanjjanaa has been quite active on the work front and has been travelling to promote her films including the upcoming Malayalam flick, Choran, for which she was in Thiruvananthapuram recently.
“I’ve decided to stay active until the last few days of my due date. I see so many women working until two weeks before their due date and they inspire me. Even though I work only three to four days a week, my schedule is busy, especially with social media endorsements and content,” she tells us.
Talking about the moment she realised she was going to be a mother, Sanjjanaa says she’s always loved kids, so it was a given that she’d have her own someday.
“But I kept pushing it because I was probably not ready for the kind of changes the body goes through with the process. Meanwhile, at home, my parents, like typical Indian parents, kept asking me when I’d have children. Now I’m 34, so I too felt it was high time I embraced motherhood, so here I am. Moreover, with COVID, life and work has become slower for everyone and my husband and I agreed that it’s the best time to have our child. He’s been over the moon ever since,” she tells us.
The baby will also be a first in her family, so everyone’s been pampering her with care and advice. “I got really overwhelmed in the beginning, but now I’ve got into the groove. I’ve realised what’s good for me and know my body. Pregnancy has made me more gentle and accepting. Earlier, I was rebellious and just wanted to keep working all the time. Now I’ve learnt to trust the process, take it easy and enjoy this phase,” the actor states.

Sanjjanaa adds that she’s taking this time to have kids, maybe back-to-back, and then return to work with a bang. “I think that’s much better than taking sabbaticals between kids and then return to work many years later. I want to get done with my duties as a mother and focus on work fully,” she says.
The past year has been a challenging one. How has pregnancy impacted her life? “I look at it as something that probably had to happen to make me stronger. It’s no mean feat for someone like me, with absolutely no filmi background, to tick on for so many years in the industry and in multiple languages. So, two or three months of facing tough times is not a patch on the successful years I’ve had. Besides, the pain of the people around me during those times was far greater than mine. I’ve become more grounded after that phase of my life. My impending motherhood has added a new dimension to my life and it is one of joy and absolute happiness,” sums up Sanjjanaa.
