Sonam Kapoor says welcoming a child is a 'selfish decision'; here's why

On Saturday, Sonam Kapoor and her husband Anand Ahuja welcomed a boy into the world. Soon after, a fashion magazine released the actress' cover photo from her most recent photo shoot, in which she was posing while sporting an unbuttoned top. Sonam had talked about her ideas on motherhood before the birth of her child.

Sonam can be seen in the photo caressing her growing baby bump and grinning for the camera while wearing barely any makeup. A few weeks before her delivery, the actor had flown in from London.

In a recent interview, the Raanjhanaa (2013) spoke candidly about her choice to have children. She said, “Priorities do change and I think that the child will become mine. The truth of the matter is that they didn’t choose to come into this world. You decided to bring them here, so it’s a very selfish decision.”

Sonam has been pretty active on Instagram recently, giving fans and followers sneak peeks into her pregnancy journey. Sonam posted a note on Instagram earlier today announcing the birth of her son. It read, “On 20.08.2022, we welcomed our beautiful baby boy with bowed heads and open hearts. Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, friends and family who have supported us on this journey. It is only the beginning, but we know our lives have forever changed. Sonam and Anand."
