Pooja talks about pregnancy

Pooja Joshi also spoke to BollywoodLife about her second pregnancy. She shared, 'My daughter, Ridhima is now five and a half year old and it's been a long time we really wanted a second child. Ridhima was more curious and she wanted it. She told that she wants a sibling. So this journey started and now it's my ninth month so any time the baby can arrive. Till now, the pregnancy is going on smoothly by God's grace.'

She further revealed that they decided to have the baby because her daughter insisted. She said, 'My husband was very happy and Ridhima used to see her friends with her siblings so she always wanted one. She is a caring girl so she always said that I want a sibling and I want a girl. We thought that we should not plan another baby but because of Ridhima's insistence we decided to have another baby. '

Sweet surprise

Pooja also spoke about a miraculous thing that happened. She revealed, 'This time a miraculous thing happened. Before conceiving I was telling my husband that if we cannot have a baby naturally then we will ask the doctor. But suddenly he said, 'Jo hai tumhare andar uska kya karogi. Pehle check toh karlo.' And you won't believe the next day I found out that I was actually pregnant. We were both surprised. A day before he touched my stomach and felt something was different. I was also feeling something different in my body but I was so surprised that he had said it already. We were happy that all this happened naturally. Usually the mothers yet this feeling of having a baby inside but here it was the father. Everyone was very happy in the family.'
