Chinmayi Sripaada opens up about miscarriage, slams those doubting her pregnancy

Hours after sharing the ‘only selfie’ she clicked during pregnancy, singer Chinmayi Sripada took to Instagram once again and revealed why she didn’t share her baby bump pictures on social media. In a video, the singer shared that she wanted to safeguard her privacy after suffering a miscarriage earlier. Chinmayi also mentioned that she has ‘a little bit of regret about not taking many photographs’ during pregnancy.

‘I posted a photograph of myself from 32 weeks pregnant just because I think now I have a little bit of regret about not taking more photographs. But I have already mentioned on my YouTube channel I was slightly mind messed that I should have a healthy pregnancy especially post my miscarriage. After 32 weeks, or even after then, I think I was scared… I was still showing up at dubbing, and recordings and telling people not to take any photographs, and completely respect my privacy. I even had a press meet around the time, and even then the media was really respectful,’ she shared.

Addressing rumours of welcoming twins via surrogacy, she said that a mother is a mother, whether it is a human or pet parents. She added that people’s opinion is not her problem.

‘So as far as these constant questions on surrogacy, I think it really doesn't matter if somebody had a baby through surrogacy, IVF, or normal delivery or a caesarian delivery. It really doesn't matter. A mother is a mother, whether it is a human or pet parents. So, I really don't care if people think I had babies through surrogacy, it is up to them to assume whatever they want. Their opinion on me is not my problem,’ she said.

Chinmayi also shared a photo from November 2020, 5-6 days after her miscarriage, and wrote that she went and performed after the unfortunate incident.

‘I sat down on a chair and sang at a concert. I only said I had a minor surgical procedure and wouldn’t be able to stand and sing but even in my own admission I gave a cracker of a performance and found joy from my singing, after days of continuous crying. But looking at this photo - you’d never have known - because I didn’t tell you. Therefore - remember to be kind, don’t speculate,’ she wrote.

Chinmayi Sripada and her actor-husband Rahul Ravindran welcomed twins in June. After they shared the news, a section of social media users claimed their babies were born via surrogacy
