In an interview with journalist Faye D’souza, Sonam, as part of the cover feature, opened up on how people tell pregnant women to do this and that at 31 or 32. Albeit, she still feels very young, even after embracing pregnancy at 37.
Talking about her pregnancy journey, Sonam told Vogue India, “I was taking progesterone shots in my thighs and stomach—practically everywhere on my body — because I was of advanced maternal age and was constantly throwing up, sick and bedridden. Everyone’s so tense about women who get pregnant after 31 or 32. They tell you don’t do this, don’t do that, don’t get gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia. I was like, ‘wait, hang on, I still feel very young. I’ve got my dad’s (Anil Kapoor) genes, I look very young. It’ll be fine’.”
