I want to live a life as a housewife and mother.”

Humari life ka ye sabse khoobsurat phase hai (This is the most beautiful phase of our lives). Yes, we are expecting our first child! Going to embrace parenthood soon. Aapki dher saari duaon aur pyaar ki zaroorat hai (We need a lot of your prayers and love) for our little one."
