As Govinda and Sunita Ahuja's son Yashvardhan Ahuja gears up for his Bollywood debut, his mother has shared an interesting anecdote about her pregnancy and the hopes she had for her child.

Speaking to Mashable India, Sunita revealed that during her pregnancy, she would often look at photographs of two of Hindi cinema's biggest legends — Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra. She now believes her son has inherited qualities reminiscent of both stars.

'Yashvardhan has Amit ji's personality and Dharam ji's looks'Recalling the period when she was expecting Yashvardhan, Sunita said Amitabh Bachchan has always been her favourite actor.

"Mere fav hero hain voh. Mera beta jab pet main tha toh maine do hi logon ka photo dekha tha, ek Dharam ji, Amit ji. Yashvardhan ka personality Amit ji jaise hogaya hai aur shakal Dharam ji jaisi, I am so happy," she said.

(He is my favourite hero. When my son was in my womb, I only looked at the photos of Dharam ji and Amit ji. Yashvardhan has developed a personality like Amit ji and looks like Dharam ji. I am so happy. )

Sunita recalls old pregnancy beliefsSunita also spoke about traditional beliefs that were widely followed during pregnancy in earlier times.

"We were told to watch Ramayana because the child listens while in the mother's womb. So my mother used to put Ramayana on TV whenever there was an eclipse. But today's kids won't listen to all of this," she said.
