In a recent YouTube vlog, Divyanka, who welcomed twin sons with husband Vivek Dahiya, shared that she is still figuring out breastfeeding, even two months into motherhood. She says, "Why does no one talk about feeding openly?" She pointed out that everyone loves talking about how breast milk is beneficial for a baby but no one talks about what the mother goes through.

Breastfeeding is often described as a natural part of motherhood, but for many women, it can come with physical, emotional and practical challenges. Popular TV actor Divyanka Tripathi has opened up about the difficulties mothers may face during this journey, drawing attention to the reality behind the often-romanticised image of breastfeeding.
