Actor Shraddha Arya, who became a mother to twins in November 2024, has offered fans a candid look into her journey through motherhood. Known for her role in Kundali Bhagya, Arya recently shared a personal update on social media, revealing her struggle with postpartum hair loss.
In an Instagram story, the actor posted a photo showing visible hair thinning, captioned, “It’s Real #PostpartumHairfall,” along with a crying emoji. The image reflected her vulnerability as she coped with one of the more difficult aspects of postnatal recovery.
Shraddha welcomed a baby boy and a girl with her husband, Rahul Nagal, on November 29, 2024. Celebrating the milestone, she introduced her children, Shaurya and Siya, through a heartfelt post featuring a whimsical Ghibli-style illustration. “Meet our two tiny Tornadoes, SHAURYA & SIYA. TWINS :), cuz’ Life was too peaceful, one just wouldn’t be chaotic enough,” she wrote.
Earlier, she had shared a touching photo of herself holding her newborns wrapped in pink and blue blankets. “Two little bundles of joy have made our family complete. Our Hearts Are Doubly Full!” she wrote, adding Billie Eilish’s song Everything I Wanted as background music. The post also featured blue and pink balloons with the phrases “It’s a boy” and “It’s a girl.”
Shraddha and Rahul, a naval officer, were married in 2021 in a ceremony held in Delhi. Their wedding was attended by several television industry colleagues, including Kundali Bhagya co-stars Anjum Fakih and Supriya Shukla, and actor Shashank Vyas from Balika Vadhu.
Postpartum hair loss is a common concern for many women. In a previous interview with HT Lifestyle, Medha Singh, an aesthetician and CEO of Juvena Herbals Pvt. Ltd., explained that many new mothers face significant hair shedding after childbirth. “During pregnancy, women often experience hair growth due to hormonal changes, but after delivery, this hair begins to fall, sometimes leading to emotional distress,” she said.
Singh noted that proper nutrition, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep during pregnancy can help reduce the impact of postpartum hair loss. She also emphasized the importance of external care. “Keeping the scalp hydrated is crucial,” Singh added. “Although the body is made up of 70% water, it doesn’t release it onto the scalp. Hydration needs to be supplemented externally.”
Shraddha’s openness about her postpartum experience has resonated with many fans, offering a reminder that the journey into motherhood comes with both joy and challenges.
