She also opened up on her last and ‘very uncomfortable trimester’ and revealed that she engaged in yoga during that period. The actress also opened up about the challenges and said, “Suddenly you're discovering body parts because they hurt. But that rib pain was, oh my God.” 

Spilling the secrets about her post-pregnancy workout journey, she revealed that she gradually transitioned from swimming to Pilates, then functional training. Now, Deepika is incorporating cardio and weight training, slowly regaining her strength, stamina, and core connection. 

Though she is one of the most inspiring figures globally, she admitted facing challenges in resuming work after embracing motherhood. Deepika Padukone is figuring out a balance between her acting career and the responsibility of daughter Dua. 

The Pathaan actress expressed uncertainty about being back on sets the way she used to, even if she desires to. She is now busily adjusting to this big change in her life in the presence of her little munchkin.
