Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia and her husband Angad Bedi took their fans by surprise when they announced their pregnancy on social media. However, not everyone was surprised. Right from their marriage, there were rumours that the actress was pregnant before the nuptials hence the couple rushed the ceremony. Neha Dhupia announced her pregnancy when she was into her third trimester and when finally, the bump started showing up. Fans were curious to know why the couple waited for so long to announce it officially.
Talking to Mid-Day, Neha Dhupia said that she feared her career would suffer if she revealed her pregnancy earlier. She was filming Helicopter Eela with Kajol and her talk show No Filter Neha. She said, “I was worried people would stop offering work. It was a good thing my bump wasn’t showing till the sixth month because appearances matter here, and one might be assumed to be unfit for a job. Fortunately, my energy levels are high.”
Neha Dhupia expressed her will on not taking a maternity leave.
“It’s not that I am against women who decide to take those months off. It’s my choice,” she added.
After the official announcement of pregnancy, Neha Dhupia is proudly flaunting her big baby bump everywhere she goes. She celebrated her birthday in August and even walked the ramp at Lakme Fashion Week with husband Angad Bedi.
Announcing the pregnancy, Angad Bedi wrote, “Ha! Turns out this rumour is true” indicating towards the rumours that Neha’s pregnancy rushed their wedding.
Talking about her husband Angad Bedi and how he’s prepping up to embrace fatherhood, Neha Dhupia said, “He is the best dad-in-the-making but I am worried what will happen when he and the baby will gang up on me.”
Angad Bedi was last seen in Diljit Dosanjh-starrer Soorma, where he played Sandeep Singh’s brother. Neha Dhupia will be seen along with Kajol and Riddhi Sen in Helicopter Eela.
