Recalling the period when she was expecting Yashvardhan, Sunita said Amitabh Bachchan has always been her favourite actor.“Mere fav hero hain voh. Mera beta jab pet main tha toh maine do hi logon ka photo dekha tha, ek Dharam ji, Amit ji. Yashvardhan ka personality Amit ji jaise hogaya hai aur shakal Dharam ji jaisi, I am so happy,” she said.(He is my favourite hero. When my son was in my womb, I only looked at the photos of Dharam ji and Amit ji. Yashvardhan has developed a personality like Amit ji and looks like Dharam ji. I am so happy. )
Sunita recalls old pregnancy beliefs
Sunita also spoke about traditional beliefs that were widely followed during pregnancy in earlier times.“We were told to watch Ramayana because the child listens while in the mother’s womb.
