Overview
- On Raj Shamani’s podcast, Advani said motherhood brought a profound identity shift and that it took her about six months to give herself grace.
- She described early weeks when anything could trigger tears and said she often just needed to be heard without advice.
- Advani credited Malhotra for late-night visits during his film promotions and for nightly drives at their pediatrician’s suggestion to break the isolating feed–sleep routine.
- She said the period taught her to set boundaries, stop harsh self-talk, and act with purpose as she thinks about the example she sets for her daughter, Saraayah.
- Coverage also notes her return to work in Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, whose June 4 release was postponed with a new date yet to be announced.
