Those little hugs, when Mehr clutches on to my fingers, and heavenly smile make my day, every day.”

Neha is known to break stereotypes where she is seen doing things that are against societal norms. Many people believe that pregnancy becomes difficult with age but Neha beautifully slammed this notion. She worked throughout her pregnancy period with full-on zeal and stamina. She set an example in front of the women that it is you who decide your fate. It is your choice to become a mother or not. It is your sole choice to decide when you want to become a mother. Age is a factor but not a barrier.
