Pregnancy can be a challenging journey, but having a supportive sister can make it easie
During her appearance as a guest on Amana Isani Haider’s podcast, Minal Khan shared the challenges she faced and how her sister, Aiman Khan, stood by her side.
“After I conceived, my sister was the first person I told. She was already three months pregnant, and she was so happy for me. She told me, ‘Now you don’t need to think about anything, Minal. I’m here. It’s not difficult; I know you’ll be scared, but I’ll take you along with me on this journey.’ Thanks to her support, I didn’t feel left out,” she said.
Reflecting on her postpartum experiences, the Nand actress revealed the difficulties she faced after giving birth.
“After pregnancy, Alhamdulillah, it went smoothly, but postpartum was very difficult. I got sick right after delivery with a severe infection. I had high fever, one night reaching 106 degrees, and my sister, husband and mother were just standing there, praying. In that moment I realized how vulnerable I was… I couldn’t even take a minute off because I was a mother now,” Minal added.
When asked if it was a planned pregnancy, she said replied, “Yeah… the baby came as a surprise but very very very good surprise that we will cherish all our live InshaAllah.”
On her plans to become a mother Minal said she didn’t want to plan her family in her 30s. “I wanted to have a family before reaching my 30s so that I have my own life, my health is stable and I am able to focus on my career again, not start it from scratch in my 30s.”
Minal Khan has starred in dramas such as ‘Kaash Main Teri Beti Na Hoti’, ‘Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewah’, ‘Nand’, ‘Mere Meherbaan’, ‘Mol’ ‘Mithu Aur Aapa, ‘Joru Ka Ghulam’, ‘Malkin’, ‘Beti To Main Bhi Hun’ and ‘ Ishq Hai’.
Minal and Ahsan Mohsin Ikram tied the knot on June 11, 2021, in Karachi.
