You feel people are judging you if you can’t feed your baby-Kishwer Merchant Rai

As a first-time mother, actor Kishwer Merchant Rai is always overwhelmed by every little move by her newborn, and admits that embracing motherhood has been a roller coaster ride.
Kishwer welcomed her first child, a baby boy, Nirvair, with her husband Suyyash Rai on August 27. “Every time, I see his face, I forget about all the things,” she tells us.
Ask her about the story behind picking the name, and she says that it came to her one night. “I used to have sleepless nights when Suyyash had Coronavirus, as he used to be in another room. One night, while listening to Ek Onkar, I messaged him the name, and he loved it.”
At the moment, Kishwer is on a road to recovery after the C-section delivery. Opening up about it, the 40-year-old says, “A woman’s body goes through so much in these nine months, and then comes a C-section. Then, you have to feed the baby, and there is no production of milk on the first three days. You get frustrated, on top of it, you feel people are judging you ki breast milk nahin de pa rahe ho.”
She adds: “After delivery, you can go into postpartum depression. That’s why it is important to be happy, but how? Because if you can't do anything for your child, you can’t be happy. But everything is fine now, I am back home, eating well and he is also fine.”
Amid these happy emotions, there are some overwhelming moments, too. “If I’m cradling him and he is still crying, I get emotional. I get anxious. There are many things which I will learn as I explore motherhood,” she concludes.
I decided to opt out. I was the bigger person-Kishwer Merchant

Kishwer Merchant, who opted to leave Bigg Boss 9 with Rs 15 lakhs during the ‘ticket to finale’ task, had earlier said that fellow contestant Prince Narula is coming across as overconfident and that might not let him win the show. However, when asked about it, she denies it. “On the contrary, I want Prince to win the show. He is the only strong contender left. Yes, certain things happened between us where I felt he was wrong — no doubt I was hurt that he did not even once during the task say that he would leave. That was wrong considering the relationship we shared (like brother-sister). I would never speak like that about him,” says Kishwer. As for the reason she opted out, she says, “After 22 hours of the task, we thought Bigg Boss would cancel it, but after realising that none of us were giving up, he gave us an hour’s time to speak to each other and decide. If we had not taken a call, the housemates would have decided who among us would leave the show and I did not want to give them that right. Since Prince didn’t mention about leaving, I decided to opt out. I was the bigger person.”
