What really happens in the first year of motherhood — behind the perfect Instagram photos, the celebrity glow-ups, and the smiling baby videos?

In this deeply honest and unfiltered episode of The Modern Indian Parent Podcast, host Rinie Gupta sits down with Rochelle Rao — former Miss India, actor, Bigg Boss contestant, TV personality, and now mother to 2-year-old Josephine — to talk about her real, raw, messy, beautiful journey through the first year of motherhood.

This is not an expert episode.This is not polished advice.This is the truth of becoming a mother, told by someone the world assumes has it “easy”.
