She said, "I realised this would happen and expected it, and I don`t mean it in a bad way but there are people in my life like my parents who aren`t used to it. And with my baby with me, it`s instinctive. If I see her getting startled or her eyes opening I protect her. It`s not intentional that I want to keep her away."

About her weight under constant scrutiny, Ash said "It`s never been an issue with me. Rather I have moms coming up to me and thanking me, saying that you are just like us. If my weight was an issue I would be under cover."
