Ankita Dhupia

1 works

Ankita Dhupia is a mother of two daughters, born ten years apart and a storyteller who uses motherhood as a lens, but not the whole story. Her journey, from becoming a parent at 32 to doing it all over again at 42, mirrors a larger transformation: one of overcoming fear, challenging societal timelines, and rediscovering who she is. Motherhood shaped her, yes, but the real story is about the woman she’s become between her thirties and forties. She shares these reflections on her blog One at 32, Two at 42 and her column Raising Two, Growing Too on SheThePeople. She can be found on Instagram.
