Mohena Kumari Singh reveals her mother-in-law interrupted a pandit who told her ‘bohot saare bete ho’: ‘Proud of her’

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor Mohena Kumari Singh announced her pregnancy earlier this year. In a new interview, Mohena has revealed how her mother-in-law stopped a pundit who was praying for her to have a male child.

Mohena got married into a royal family of Rewa in Madhya Pradesh in 2019. On February 15, Mohena shared a series of pictures on Instagram of herself and her husband Suyesh Rawat and made the big announcement. She wrote, “Beginning of a new beginning. Sharing the Good News with All @suyeshrawat.”

In an interview with E-Times, Mohena talked about how her mother-in-law schooled a pundit who was praying for Mohena to have a male child. She said, “I am enjoying this phase as everyone wants to pamper me. My husband is still in Dehradun and has already started preparing a nursery. We discuss things on the phone. I want a healthy baby, there is no preference as such. But I do feel bad when people say ki beta ho. Recently, we had a puja at home and the pandit Ji kept telling my mom-in-law ki bahot saare bete ho (may you have several sons). Finally, she had to stop him and she said, ‘Humhein beti chahiye (We want a daughter)!’ I am really proud of my mom-in-law.”

She also shared her daily routine and how she is trying to stay healthy during pregnancy. She said, “Although I am a foodie, I have become very strict about my diet. I have not eaten Chinese food for the past 7-8 months. The first three months were really bad and weird. Sometimes, I want to eat chalk and sometimes I love the smell of wet soil.”
