About the ceremony

Speaking to an entertainment portal about the ceremony, Smriti said it's known as the 40th-day ceremony that's being held so that mom and daughter can officially move out of the house. She also said that after the puja they stepped out of the house and the ritual of casting away the evil eyes was performed, so that the mother and the baby will stay safe whenever they go out. She further went on to say that, it is believed that a mother’s body takes about 40 days to recover after delivery and the infant’s immunity also builds in 40 days.

On embracing fatherhood, Gautam earlier revealed that whenever the child is next to him, he always has a big smile on his face. He added that it is always there whether the baby is around him or whether he's holding her. Adding firther, Gautam said that his little one brings an uncontrollable smile to his face and that fatherhood is a blessing and the 'purest form of love'.
