Since giving birth to son Zephyr (two years old) and daughter Serena (eight months old), fashion designer, youtuber and mum influencer Simone Khambatta is all about multi-tasking. While she gives out handy parenting and babycare tips on her YouTube channel Mama Says, in her life behind the camera, it’s her family and staff at home that really help her keep the show running. “I am able to do all the things I want to, knowing that the kids are well taken care of back home,” she tells us. As she settles into hair and makeup, while simultaneously attending to numerous phone calls, this firecracker of a mum gets candid about her mommyhood journey with Zephyr and Serena.
BABY BOOM
Born and raised in Dubai, Simone and entrepreneur husband Karan Panthaky are high school sweethearts, who have been together since the 10th grade. Although their careers took them on different paths—Simone moved to New York to study fashion at the Parsons School of Design—they eventually, made their way back to Mumbai where they got married. A few years later, they decided it was time to start a family. And it wasn’t too long before Simone was pregnant with baby number one. “We are grateful to have conceived in the first shot. We were quite surprised it happened that way. Many of our friends are struggling to have kids, and in today’s day and age, our lifestyle changes have made it difficult to conceive. For us, everything went according to plan, and we feel extremely lucky,” she tells us. As fate would have it, an even bigger surprise was in store for them. It was only a year after Zephyr was born that she found out she was pregnant with baby number two. “I felt like I was having a heart attack to be honest!” Simone recalls.
