In a video that Smriti made specifically for new moms and for pregnant women, the newest mom on the block answered questions right from her pregnancy cravings, exercises to breastfeeding and her post-pregnancy weight loss. She also addressed how her abs appeared and said, "I didn't make any abs after my delivery. It's not practically possible to have a body like that in 10 to 12 days. All that I am doing is getting back my old body which I had before I got pregnant." Smriti Khanna Posts A Mirror Selfie Flaunting Her Toned Abs Just Week After Delivering Baby Girl (View Pic).

On her weight gain and subsequent loss, Smriti continued, "I had gained about 14 kg during her pregnancy and I lost about 4.5 of it in the delivery room and after that, I lost about 3 kg in 10 to 12 days. I also lost fluids because of breastfeeding. I still have my lower abdomen which will take time to contract, but luckily I haven't put on weight on my face, arms or thighs. I am not following any exercise as assumed by other people. And you can't exercise up to 6 or 8 weeks after delivery." New Mommy Smriti Khanna Shows 'Middle Finger' to Haters Who Called Her Post-Pregnancy Abs ‘Edited’ (Watch Video).

She also asked anyone with further queries to write them down to her and promised yet another enlightening video. Kudos to Smriti for reaching out to others.
