Sonal Khangarot

Licensed rehabilitation counsellor and psychotherapist explaining the psychological effects of parenthood.

“Apart from the fact that my first instinct was to buy a gun, definitely there is a bit more tenderness that has come about. I want to be fitter and live longer for her, and I want to make her prouder than possibly my mother was.”
