Karishma Tanna Talks Post‑partum Depression, Calls Motherhood a ‘Super‑Power’

When Karishma Tanna welcomed her baby boy, Ved, on July 29, 2026, the joy was palpable. "It felt like I was delivering a part of myself," she told the Times of India, describing the instant wave of love and responsibility that washed over her.

But beneath the glow, a quieter storm was gathering. The actress admits that, even after months of mental‑preparation, postpartum depression still found its way into her days. "There are moments when I find myself crying over the tiniest thing," she confided, adding that the feeling can be downright overwhelming.

She paints a vivid picture of the physical reality too – stitches, sore hips, and a body that’s still trying to heal. "Doing anything after stitches feels unimaginable," Karishma says, highlighting how the hormonal roller‑coaster can swing from euphoric highs to crushing lows.

Yet, in the midst of that turbulence, she discovered a new kind of strength. "The power women show during delivery is real super‑power. If you survive that, you can survive anything," she affirmed, crediting both her husband Varun Bangera’s support and her own inner resilience.

Karishma’s biggest piece of advice for fellow mothers? Cut yourself some slack. "Don’t judge yourself or fall into a guilt‑trip. Whatever you’re doing is perfect for you and your baby," she urges, reminding us that a happy mother often means a happy child.

Since sharing her story on social media, the star has become an unexpected champion for maternal mental health, offering tips and candid updates to help other new parents navigate the ups and downs of early parenthood.
