With this cover Konkona joins the league of celebrities like Demi Moore and Padma Lakshmi, who dared to bare their baby bump, but they chose to be without clothes while Konkona is covered. No doubt the shoot is done aesthetically and it looks wonderful. But many are of the opinion that a cover page like this doesn’t suit our culture, and that it’s a risqué one.
Konkona, who married actor Ranvir Shorey last year, talks to the magazine about her pregnancy and how motherhood has changed her. Konkona says, “We were both keen on having a baby soon though - because you know they say you should have your kids before a certain age. We’ve been saying, “Maybe next year,” for some time and on my last birthday, mom said, “Okay, you want to freeze your eggs now?!” This has happened at the right age and the right time for us and we couldn’t be happier.”
The actress has named her son Haroon, which is an Arabic name meaning a protector, a chief.
