In the glittering world of B-town, it’s not unusual for actresses to break the news of their motherhood before they tie the knot. However, while there is absolutely no shame in conceiving before tying the knot, it’s a practice that often attracts disapproving glances from our society. Unfortunately, even in modern times, this trend still raises eyebrows and elicits negative reactions, as we’ve seen with Ileana D’cruz’s recent announcement.
But she’s certainly not the first to face this scrutiny – let’s take a closer look at the bold and beautiful Bollywood divas who dared to challenge societal norms and embrace motherhood on their own terms.
1) Ileana D’Cruz
In a joyful moment shared with her fans, Ileana D’Cruz announced her pregnancy on Instagram, sending ripples of excitement through the entertainment world. The rumours are that the lucky father is Sebastien Laurent Michel, brother of the stunning Katrina Kaif, with whom Ileana has been spotted on multiple occasions, including a memorable trip to the sun-kissed Maldives alongside the glamorous couple, Katrina and Vicky Kaushal. It’s clear that love is in the air for these stars, but fans cannot wait to get an official confirmation of the baby’s daddy!
2) Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt’s pregnancy news may have come as a surprise to many, but the fact is that she had conceived long before tying the knot with the dashing Ranbir Kapoor. Two months into their married life, the stunning couple announced the exciting news of their impending parenthood, much to the delight of their fans. And before long, their little bundle of joy, a beautiful baby girl, Raha Kapoor was welcomed into this world, only seven months after the couple had taken their vows. It’s clear that for these stars, love and family are what make life truly worth living.
3) Neha Dhupia
Known for her fearless attitude and unabashed honesty, Neha Dhupia has never shied away from speaking her mind. Her popular show, ‘No Filter Neha’, is a testament to this, as she fearlessly addresses a wide range of topics. In 2018, Neha and her husband, Angad Bedi, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mehr. But it was on an episode of her show that Neha made a stunning revelation – she had been pregnant before tying the knot with Angad. The couple had married in a beautiful ceremony at a Gurudwara in Delhi in May of that year, and their precious little one arrived just six months later, in November. After keeping their secret for months, the couple finally opened up about their unique journey, and their fans couldn’t help but admire their courage and honesty.
