Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia, who tied the knot with Angad Bedi on May 10, surprised the fans when she announced that she is pregnant. Speculations were rife for quite some time that the ‘Helicopter Eela’ actress got hitched in hush-hush ceremony because she got pregnant. The former Miss India and her husband had denied all the rumours back then but they confirmed that they are going to become parents by posting a cute post on social media.

Neha Dhupia, while talking to a leading daily, has revealed why she kept her pregnancy a secret for so many months. The ‘Tumhari Sulu’ actress said that she feared people wouldn’t offer work her and her career would suffer if she revealed her pregnancy earlier.  Dhupia was shooting for her upcoming film ‘Heliocopter Eela’ and her TV show ‘No Filter Neha’, back then.

“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 told Mid-Day.



The actress, who is radiating mummy glow these days, said that she won’t be taking a maternity leave and will continue to work after delivering her baby.

"I don't want a maternity break. It's not that I am against women who decide to take those months off. It's my choice; it doesn't amount to saying that those who decide to take time off should be looked down upon,’’ the actress told the daily.

Neha also spoke about her husband and called Angad the best dad-in-the-making.

“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,” the ‘Singh is Kinng’ actress further told the daily.



Post her pregnancy announcement, Neha Dhupia has often been spotted flaunting her baby bump, be it at the airport or Lakme Fashion week.

The tinsel town diva even shared some pictures showing her baby bump from her mini- vacation in Maldives.
