Sandalwood actress Harshika Poonacha is expecting her second child. She shared photos from her new 'Vatsalya' theme photoshoot on Instagram, writing, 'Carrying my little Krishna within me… this moment is heaven for me'.

Vatsalya (Motherly Love) theme

Harshika explained the theme's meaning. 'Vatsalya' is a Sanskrit/Kannada word for a mother's unconditional, tender love. It's often used to describe Yashoda's love for her child, Krishna.

A stunning painting-inspired concept

The photo's background features a lovely painting of Balakrishna. You can see Sri Krishna with two peacocks and a cow with its calf. This simple painting gives the photo a royal, classic feel, as Harshika strikes different poses.

Deep crimson saree

For the shoot, Harshika Poonacha wore a unique Kanchipuram-style silk saree. The deep red saree has a big border with silver or golden line patterns. She looks absolutely lovely in this red and green combination.

Harshika and her husband Bhuvan are expecting their second child around September 17. Before this, she did a photoshoot with the concept 'Radha waiting for Krishna'. Now, she has followed it up with this 'Vatsalya' theme shoot.
