Evelyn Sharma and her husband Tushaan Bhindi, who became parents to Ava in November 2021, are all set to welcome their second baby. The actress announced the news with a social media post, flaunting her baby bump. The Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actress, who is now based in Australia, says, “We always dreamed of having a big family of our own. Ava is such a beautiful little person, and it makes you want another one. We wanted the kids to be close in age so they can grow up together. We are excited that our second baby is on the way!”

Evelyn says that while Ava is too young to understand that she will soon have a sibling. “But she likes poking my belly button,” laughs Evelyn.

The actress says that she is far more relaxed this time around. “I was extremely anxious during my first pregnancy. I was scared about what was happening to my body and how to protect the baby. This time around I’m a lot more relaxed and distracted since Ava needs my attention. I think the first child is such a shock to the system and your life changes suddenly forever,” she says.

Ask her whether she is prepared to handle two kids, and she says, “Motherhood is a challenge and nothing really prepares you for it. However, it is also very rewarding. Two kids surely mean twice the trouble, but it is also twice the fun!”

Last seen in Saaho in 2019, Evelyn, who has worked in films like Yaariyan, Hindi Medium and Jab Harry Met Sejal, got married to Tushaan in May 2021. Talking about her work, the actress shares, “I’m continuing with my podcast, but I am not taking up films at the moment. I feel long-term projects could be too demanding. I’m enjoying this phase of my life.”
