Bollywood Actresses Shot Films During Pregnancy

Alia Bhatt

Rising star Alia Bhatt recently revealed that she was in the final stages of her pregnancy during discussions for ‘Poacher’ with Richie Mehta. Not only that, but she also completed filming for ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’ and ‘Heart of Stone’ while pregnant, challenging the notion that motherhood signals the end of an actress's career.

During the shooting of Zee5's ‘Bhram,’ Kalki Koechlin was in her first trimester. She faced the challenge of constant nausea, with only the director and makeup artist aware of her condition. Their support ensured she received adequate rest between takes.

When Neha Dhupia found herself rejected for roles due to her second pregnancy, director Behzad Khambata stepped up. He modified the script of ‘A Thursday’ to accommodate Neha's character as a pregnant cop, showcasing how the industry can adapt to support expectant mothers.

Madhuri Dixit

The legendary Madhuri Dixit amazed audiences with her performances in ‘Devdas,’ including the iconic ‘Dola Re Dola’ and ‘Maar Dala’ sequences, all while pregnant. Her portrayal of Chandramukhi remained graceful and captivating throughout.

Jaya Bachchan

Even in the 1975 film ‘Chupke Chupke,’ Jaya Bachchan worked while pregnant with her daughter Shweta. Her decision was driven by the desire to work under the esteemed director Hrishikesh Mukherjee, proving that balancing personal and professional life isn't a new concept in Bollywood.
