BIGGEST ADVANTAGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
The fact that I can work from home, and take my work wherever I go. It’s my space, so I can decide the time and pace. And in reference to being a mum, being able to run the show helps a lot.

At a point, I felt a lot of pressure, but I never gave in. I announced my pregnancy in my own time. It’s hard to constantly put your life out there and also look the part. A mum in the public eye is expected to loose weight and have perpetually blow-dried hair even if she’s dealing with postpartum hair fall!
