Kalki Koechlin gave birth to a baby girl in February this year. The actress and her partner named their daughter Sappho. Kalki had announced in September last year that she was expecting a child with boyfriend Guy Hershberg.
In an exclusive interview with mid-day, the actress shared. "This was an unexpected pregnancy. In the first two months, I didn't feel any maternal instinct. It felt like an alien invasion, where this little thing was acting like a vampire, sucking out everything from my body," Koechlin said, adding that her maternal instinct soon kicked in. "When I heard the heartbeat for the first time, I got excited."
Now, however, Kalki and her baby are inseparable! The actress recently shared a photo of herself with Sappho that is sure to bring a big smile to your face. Commemorating Breastfeeding Week, Kalki wrote, "6 months of exclusive breastfeeding today! Phew 'brow wipe' Happy breastfeeding week to all those who've trudged through this rough and beautiful road."
