The two already share a 4-year old daughter by the name of Anayka, whom they welcomed in April of 2020 after three years of marriage. In their second attempt to conceive, Smriti sustained a miscarriage which took place a few days prior to her mother's passing, who was undergoing cancer treatment.

The second miscarriage considerably shook her up even leading her to consider IVF. Smriti however, opted out of the same, owing to the pain of needles involved. The actress revealed she ended up conceiving naturally after she had lost all hope. She shared the news of her second pregnancy with her followers via her social media handles. The couple and their daughter are set to welcome the baby in September of 2024.

However, the incident put her on a strict bed rest. The actress however shared, that keeping her mind off her health by indulging in some quality time with family, has truly made her pregnancy easier.
