Earlier this year in March, the actor and her husband had announced the news of their pregnancy on social media. They were expecting their child to arrive sometime in August.

Kishwer Merchant had shared her struggles with pregnancy. She had said that in the beginning, she was afraid of putting on weight. She wrote on Instagram, "When I got pregnant I use to think omg I will put on so much weight .. what will I do, will I ever be able to lose the weight again? I guess it happens to everyone. But after a few days I stopped thinking all about it and embraced it .. this is me now and I love myself coz I have you inside."

She had said that motherhood for her has been about both, happiness and nervousness. The actor had faced mood swings when her parents and her husband Suyyash Rai tested positive for COVID-19.
Pregnancy was never planned for Merchant and her husband. They were surprised to find out about it and then embraced the new phase of their life.

On announcing pregnancy at the age of 40, the actor was met with questions. For her, it was 'fantastic'. During an interview, she said that being age is not a problem in terms of pregnancy. In her message to other women, Merchant had said, "You can get married at 35, 36 or whenever like I did and have your babies too whenever you feel like."

Her husband and actor Suyyash Rai had earlier told a publication that he wants a healthy baby but if given a choice, he would want a boy child. He said, "Also because I really will get him to play cricket and do those things that I missed out on as a child."

"But moreover, I just want my child to be happy, healthy, and grow up in a nice and joyous environment."
