It has been nearly a month since Bollywood actors Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal welcomed their first child, a baby girl. Since then, Richa has been using social media to share her experiences and challenges as a new mother, offering fans a glimpse into her journey.
Recently, the Fukrey actress took to Instagram to express the difficulties of balancing self-care with the demands of motherhood. Posting a selfie from her bathroom, Richa was seen with wet hair and a face mask, pouting at the camera. Her caption captured the frustration many new moms feel: “Screw every single person who won’t let a mom shower in peace, even once a week.”
Richa has been open about the changes in her life since becoming a mother. A week earlier, she shared a series of stunning images of herself and wrote about the longing for uninterrupted sleep—a luxury she now dreams of. “BRB dreaming of eight uninterrupted hours of sleep. Good night to you. Good morning to me. Bye #NewMomStruggles #brainfogbegone #NoNinni,” she captioned the post.
Before that, Richa provided her followers with a life update, acknowledging the demands of her new role. In a heartfelt post, she shared a selfie and reassured her fans that she wasn’t missing in action, just busy with her “new job.” She wrote, “I haven’t disappeared. I just have a new job. My boss needs me 24×7, there are no off days. Meet the baby. Some days are filled with family, food, fun, and feeds.” The post ended with a surprise video of her newborn, delighting her followers.
Richa and Ali Fazal, who tied the knot on October 4, 2022, in Lucknow, welcomed their daughter on July 16, 2024. As Richa navigates the early days of motherhood, she is also preparing to return to work, with plans to begin filming a comedy soon. Meanwhile, Ali Fazal is gearing up for his next projects, including Metro In Dino and Lahore 1947, set for release in 2025.
