Durga Krishna has recently shared her postpartum experience and revealed how the changing dynamics have made her lonely despite being 'obsessed' with her child.
Postpartum depression is as real as anything can get. While the entire family's world suddenly seems to revolve around a little baby, sometimes it's the mother who has to silently battle the physical and emotional changes. Something like that happened with Malayalam actress, Durga Krishna, who has recently revealed that after having her baby, she feels like she has become 'invisible' to her husband.
Durga Krishna recently got candid about her postpartum struggles on social media. The actress took to her Facebook stories and shared her struggle with loneliness after having her child. Responding to a question: "You are holding your baby, but who is holding you?", the actress who welcomed her first child with husband and producer, Arjun Ravindran, in 2025, revealed how she feels she has become 'invisible' to her husband after the birth of their first child. The actress' note could be read as:
"I need to say this out loud: I am completely obsessed with my baby, but I am also struggling with a deep sadness that I can't explain to those who only see the surface. I'm drowning in the middle of all this love. The truth is, I feel like I've lost my husband and gained only a co-parent."
In the same note, Durga shared that she is absolutely obsessed with her child, but feels disconnected from her husband. She added that the person who looked after her for nine months suddenly just exists as a co-parent. She shared that she spends sleepless nights with the baby while her husband sleeps peacefully in the other room. She added that while she has changed roles, it feels like she has 'lost' her marriage too. She was quoted as saying:
"The person who looked after me during pregnancy has disappeared, replaced by someone who only sees the baby, while I have become invisible. I am the one who sacrificed my career, my body, my health, and my sleep. I am the one who stays awake in the quiet of the night while he sleeps in another room. I am holding my baby with everything I have left, but my arms are shaking because no one is holding me. I haven't just changed roles; I feel like I've lost my marriage. I am obsessed with the life I created, but I am depressed by the loneliness of the life I'm now living."
A screengrab of Durga's post was soon shared on Reddit, and fans began sharing their support for the actress. A user penned, "I'm not sure what to make of this. Be strong, Durga." Another penned, "This happens way more often than you think. Marriage is not sunshine and rainbows. Postpartum is one of the most challenging things a woman can ever go through." A fan even shared their own struggle and said, "I totally get her. I have felt the exact same during postpartum for many years, even though my husband is a good guy. But posting it on social media will most likely not be a good idea."
Durga and Arjun got married in 2021, and their baby girl was born in 2025. Arjun produced Durga's 2021 film, Confessions of a Cuckoo. The actress was last seen in the 2024 film, Thankamani. Durga will soon star alongside Mohanlal in Ram.
