A few years earlier, when she was married to Naga Chaitanya in 2017, she addressed questions about family planning during an interaction and revealed that the couple had already discussed when they hoped to welcome a child.
"The date has been fixed! Like, as if that’s going to happen according to the date we have fixed! But Chay (Naga Chaitanya) seems to be certain that it will happen on the assigned date! But we have definitely fixed the timeline as to when we want to have a baby," she told Film Companion.
The 39-year-old actress also spoke about how motherhood would reshape her priorities. "When I have a child, that child is going to be my universe. I had the greatest respect for working mothers. My childhood was not very rosy. For all adults, who haven’t had a very rosy childhood, the first thing they will tell you is that they want to give their child everything that they did not have. That’s something that has stuck with me. So I think the first few years after I have a child, I would not be anywhere. That child will be everything for me," she said.
