Karan on Kiara, Alia, Katrina’s motherhood bond: ‘All moms were calling each other’
What people are saying
Sometimes, all you want is an outlet. It’s such a huge shift for any new mother, and women really understand each other in that way.
We were checking up on each other. All of us are in the same field.
What I always felt heartened by was that, at one point, Kiara was calling Alia, Alia was calling Katrina. All the mothers were calling each other. Patralekhaa too.
Men don’t realise the extent of the changes your body goes through, the transformation that happens. Hands down, women are the stronger sex.
