Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor:Seven Indian Actresses Who Continued Filming While Pregnant
Mumbai:In the ever-evolving world of cinema, the personal and professional lives of actors often intertwine in remarkable ways. A testament to this intersection is the determination and resilience displayed by several Indian actresses who continued their work on film sets while navigating the unique challenges of pregnancy. From iconic classics to contemporary blockbusters, these actresses have left an indelible mark on the industry, demonstrating that the show indeed must go on.
Jaya Bachchan
Jaya Bachchan, a pillar of Indian cinema, was a shining example of this commitment. While pregnant with her and Amitabh Bachchan’s first child, Shweta Bachchan, Jaya filmed for the 1975 classic Sholay. Her dedication continued as she worked on the film Chupke Chupke during the same period. Shweta was born in March 1974, and Sholay was released in August 1975, showcasing Jaya's remarkable ability to balance her professional and personal lives.
Juhi Chawla
Juhi Chawla, another celebrated actress, was pregnant with her first child during the filming of the 2001 movie One Two Ka Four. Juhi, who married industrialist Jay Mehta in 1995, gave birth to daughter Jahnavi in February 2001, while the film was still in production. Juhi’s successful navigation of her pregnancy and career is a testament to her professional prowess.
Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor Khan is well-known for her determination and professionalism. During her second pregnancy, Kareena filmed Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), staying active in the industry despite being five-and-a-half months pregnant. She gave birth to her second son, Jehangir Ali Khan, in February 2021. Kareena’s ability to seamlessly blend her roles as an actress and a mother is truly inspiring.
Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone made headlines for her dedication when she filmed the climax of Kalki 2898 AD while pregnant with her and Ranveer Singh's first child. The couple announced their pregnancy in February 2024, with Deepika working diligently on the film until close to her due date. Her commitment to her craft during such a significant personal moment highlights her professional integrity.
Yami Gautam
Yami Gautam's journey was marked by a similar blend of professionalism and personal life. During the filming of Article 370 (2024), Yami, who had recently confirmed her pregnancy, continued working until shortly before giving birth to her son, Vedavid, in May 2024. Her ability to manage her career and impending motherhood reflects her dedication to her craft.
Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt, while filming for her debut Hollywood project Heart Of Stone (2023), announced her pregnancy in June 2022. Alia welcomed her daughter Raha with Ranbir Kapoor in November 2022, just months after completing the film. Her ability to balance her burgeoning career with the joys of new motherhood exemplifies the modern actress’s multifaceted life.
Neha Dhupia
Neha Dhupia's commitment to her work was evident when she filmed A Thursday (2022) while eight months pregnant. The film, which also stars Yami Gautam, was adapted to accommodate Neha’s pregnancy, showcasing the industry’s flexibility and respect for its actors. Neha and her husband Angad Bedi welcomed their son Guriq Bedi Dhupia in 2021, further highlighting the integration of personal and professional milestones.
These actresses not only continue to inspire with their performances but also demonstrate incredible strength and adaptability in balancing their careers with motherhood. Their stories reflect a broader trend of evolving norms in the film industry, where professional dedication and personal life can harmoniously coexist.
