May 16, 2012 IANS

Mumbai, May 16 (IANS) Actress Lara Dutta, who has unveiled her pre-natal yoga DVD, revealed that her husband Mahesh Bhupathi was scared about her shooting the video.

"When I was shooting for the DVD, he (Mahesh) was very nervous. He has strictly instructed our director that if something happens to 'my wife and the child', he will stop it immediately," the 34-year-old told reporters here Tuesday.

"Good thing is that we sent him for a tournament and then we shot for it peacefully," added the actress who gave birth to her daughter in January this year. In 2010, she had launched a fitness DVD.

Meanwhile, Lara, 34, is enjoying her transformation to being a mother and is in no hurry to lose weight.

"More than being a celebrity, for me it was important that I don't lose who I am. I am a mom and that's a big part of me, a new part of me," she said.

"But I am also Lara, the person I have been for my whole life. I have never put that kind of pressure on me that I have to lose weight and get back in six weeks. I am still in the process of losing weight, but I am still enjoying the transformation of being a mom, being an actress, taking this break, looking after my daughter and getting back to shape," she added.
