‘Postpartum depression is real’: Vivek on Divyanka Tripathi’s recovery journey after twins

‘Postpartum depression is real’: Vivek on Divyanka Tripathi’s recovery journey after twins

Television personality Vivek Dahiya has opened up about his wife Divyanka Tripathi's journey through postpartum depression following the birth of their twin boys in May 2026. The actor spoke candidly about the hormonal and physical changes that mothers endure in the months after childbirth, describing postpartum depression as "real" and a significant challenge for new mothers.

Vivek noted that Divyanka, who is known for her regular workout routine, experienced a sudden loss of core strength after the delivery, which was particularly difficult to accept. He explained that the jelly-like stomach left her wondering how she would regain her pre-baby physique and how long the recovery process would take. The Yeh Hai Mohabbatein star also emphasized the daily focus on the baby's needs, with motherhood completely reshaping their routine around feeding and caring for the twins.

In discussing his role in supporting Divyanka through this difficult period, Vivek stressed the importance of being present and offering emotional comfort. He clarified that he does not have any "unique hacks" for recovery, but rather believes that simply being there and providing reassurance can make a difference. Vivek shared that he frequently assists with feeding the baby, taking over when Divyanka expresses milk, which helps alleviate some of the immediate demands on his wife.

This shared responsibility helps ease the emotional burden of being a new mother, allowing her to lean on her husband for support during this transformative time.
