Kajal Aggarwal is back to work four months after giving birth to her son, Neil Kitchlu. The actress took to Instagram to share a video of herself riding a horse. She picked up this new skill as part of her preparations for her role in Kamal Haasan's Indian 2, directed by Shankar. In her Instagram note, she spoke about how her body changed after pregnancy and how difficult it was for her to get back to work.
After being stalled for nearly two years, the shooting of Indian 2 has resumed. Kajal Aggarwal was supposed to join the team on September 13.
On September 21, Kajal took to Instagram to share a video of herself training with a horse for Indian 2. She spoke about getting back to work four months post-partum. In her note, she wrote that her body and stamina levels have changed, but her determination remains the same.
Here's the post:
She wrote, "Eager and excited, I jumped back into work 4 months post-partum! Little did I realise that it would feel like starting from scratch. My body wasn’t the same as how it used to be. Pre baby, I could endure very long workdays with taxing amounts of physical activity AND then hit the gym. Post baby, it’s been hard to get back my energy levels. Mounting a horse, let alone riding it seemed like a huge task! My body protested with the martial arts training that came so easily to me earlier (sic)."
"Our bodies can change/ may change/ will change but our indomitable spirit and burning passion, need not. We’ve got to just keep showing up for ourselves and consistently making each day count. It’s all about what we choose to prioritise to focus on and not feel guilty about our choices (sic)," she continued.
Sharing an update about Indian 2, Kajal wrote, "#Indian2 I’m so glad I’ve jumped back into the drill with you. Stoked to learn new skills on the job and pursue them as hobbies after. So fortunate to be a part of this industry I call home! Grateful for the opportunities to constantly learn and become an upgraded version of myself (sic)."
