Actor Evelyn Sharma announced on Tuesday that she and her husband, Dr Tushaan Bhindi, are expecting their second child. The couple had their first child, Ava Rania Bhindi, in November 2021.

She took to Instagram to share a selfie while cradling her baby bump. She also shared another picture, a close-up shot of the bump. Soon after her post, many of her friends and fans dropped congratulatory messages for the mum to-be.

Alongside the pictures on Instagram, Sharma wrote, “Can’t wait to hold you in my arms!! (pink heart with star emoji). Baby #2 is on the way (hatching chick and smiling face with red heart eyes emojis).” She used ‘baby bhindi’, ‘baby number 2’, ‘another one’, ‘Evelyn Sharma’, ‘growing our family’,’ family is everything’ and ‘love’ as the hashtags on the post.

The actor married the Australia-based dental surgeon in 2021.

Recently, actor Evelyn Sharma took to social media to share a photo of herself breastfeeding her two-month-old daughter, Ava Bhindi, and discussed how cluster feeding has become a part of her daily routine. 

A month ago, she posted a similar image, which, like the current one, drew support. However, both posts were slammed by a few netizens who urged Sharma to keep her private photos off social media. But the 35-year-old says she would rather focus on the positive messages:  “I want to share my journey as a new mother with my friends and fans. It’s important for me to keep my social media personal and not just work-related.” 

Dismissing the trolls, the Saaho (2019) actor shares, “Breastfeeding is one of the most natural things you can do. So why be shy about it?”

She hopes that the post will encourage young mothers and even nudge their partners to be more supportive of them. “Breastfeeding is much tougher than people think. It is often physically and mentally exhausting, particularly during cluster feeds. I shared my story to let mums out there know that they aren’t alone in this,” concludes the actor.
