For Marathi film, television and theatre personality, Aditi Sarangdhar, life in the limelight got a lot more exciting after the birth of her baby boy, Arin

Hollywood superstar, Kate Winslet, once famously said, “Having children just puts the whole world into perspective. Everything else just disappears.” Closer home, our very own green-eyed goddess, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is noted to have said, “I don’t know about changing my perspective because motherhood is such a glorious blessing and I am very thankful for that. It’s such a beautiful experience. I so strongly recommend it. It’s bliss, love, and fulfillment of another level.” There’s no doubt that the life you’ve come to know drastically changes when you bring a child into the equation, and for Aditi Sarangdhar, it was no different. “I have been part of the Marathi film industry, television and theatre scene for the past thirteen years. As an actress, it has been a great journey. But, nothing compares to the adventure life has been after Arin came into this world,” she says.

The baby way

“My husband Suhas Revandekar and I fell in love and later married. We’ve been married for almost five years now. Ever since we thought of tying the knot, Suhas was keen on starting a family. But, we did want to spend some time together before we decided to make a baby. It was after four years of marriage that we both felt it was time, and the planning soon began,” says Aditi. The couple were a little sceptical about their chances of conceiving since Aditi was now 35, and Suhas was 43, and were repeatedly told that they would encounter some difficulties while trying to get pregnant. Fortunately, life had a wonderful surprise and the couple were successful almost immediately.
