Former Bollywood actress Sana Khan has faced significant criticism on social media after sharing her desire to have a larger family, despite expecting her second child. In a recent Instagram video, Sana, who left her acting career for a spiritual path, expressed her gratitude for her husband Anas’s support during her first pregnancy and their excitement for the upcoming arrival of their second child.
While discussing her family goals, she mentioned, βIn the past, people used to have 12 children; I wish to have 5 or 10.β This statement, along with her reflections on her journey with post-partum depression, sparked controversy. Sana suggested that spiritual practices could be beneficial in managing post-partum depression, which many felt undermined the need for professional medical care for such a serious condition.
Critics pointed out that Sanaβs financial means and access to household help make it easier for her to consider a larger family, a privilege that isn’t accessible to everyone. Additionally, many felt her comments on post-partum depression were overly simplistic and did not acknowledge the need for appropriate medical support.
