Drashti Dhami, the popular actress known for her roles in Madhubala and Geet Hui Sabse Parayi, is about to start an exciting new journey as she gets ready to welcome her first child with her husband, Neeraj Khemka. Through her social media, Drashti is challenging old beliefs and showing what it means to be pregnant in today’s world. Recently, she shared a motivational workout video, proving that pregnancy doesn’t have to mean giving up on fitness.
On August 12, Drashti posted a video of herself working out at the gym, showing her commitment to staying fit during pregnancy. The video shows her lifting weights and doing exercises to strengthen her thigh muscles. By sharing this, Drashti is encouraging other pregnant women to stay active and showing that expectant mothers can still work out.
In her caption, Drashti talked about how important it is to work out during pregnancy but emphasized that it should always be done with the help of a professional. She challenged the common belief that pregnant women should avoid lifting weights and just focus on resting and eating well. “Baby on the way 9–12 mahine ki chutti from working out? I don’t think so! We’ve all heard, ‘bhaari wazan nahi uthao’, ‘bass ab aaram karo, khao piyo…’ — but it doesn’t have to be that way!” she wrote.
Drashti also pointed out that staying active during pregnancy can lower the risk of complications. “In fact, exercise is not dangerous for your baby. There is evidence that active women are less likely to experience problems in later pregnancy and labor,” she added.
She mentioned the many benefits of working out, like having more energy, gaining less weight, being better prepared for labor, helping the baby’s neuromotor skills, recovering faster after delivery, and reducing back and pelvic pain.
However, Drashti also reminded everyone that each pregnancy is different and advised expecting mothers to talk to their doctor and a professional trainer before starting any exercise routine.
Fans responded positively to Drashti’s video, filling the comments with praise. They called her “the best” and admired her strength. One fan wrote, “You have always been the best actress, the best wife, the best friend, and now you will be the best mother.” Another said, “We are proud of you, my queen, because you are always strong. You really prove your strength in everything, my star.” Celebrities like Arjun Bijlani and Aditi Dev Sharma also showed their support, with Arjun leaving a red heart emoji.
Drashti Dhami first shared her pregnancy news on June 14 in a sweet video featuring her husband and family. The couple is eagerly waiting for their first child, expected in October 2024. Sharing her excitement, Drashti wrote, “It is CRAZY how much LOVE you can have for someone you haven’t even MET. Can’t wait for you OCTOBER 2024.”
As Drashti Dhami embraces motherhood, she continues to be an inspiring figure, showing that pregnancy can be a time of strength, health, and positivity.
