Neha Dhupia says labour pains began at YRF Studios: ‘Worked till the very end’

Neha Dhupia has opened up about her pregnancy journey, revealing that her contractions began while she was shooting at Yash Raj Studios.

Speaking on Parineeti Chopra’s talk show Mom Talks, Neha shared how she remained committed to work until the final stages of her pregnancy. She revealed that she continued shooting until eight-and-a-half months, determined to balance her professional responsibilities alongside motherhood.

In a promo shared on social media, Neha reflected on the challenges of managing career and parenting. The show focuses on candid conversations around parenthood, and Neha spoke about the expectations often placed on working mothers.

Responding to a question on societal pressures, she said that becoming a mother should not limit a woman’s ambitions. “As a woman, you should be able to do all the things you wish to do after becoming a mom. The needle shouldn’t change too much,” she noted.

Recalling her own experience, Neha added, “I wanted to go back to work. I worked right till the end, till eight and a half months pregnant. My contractions actually started at Yash Raj Studios.”

Neha is married to actor Angad Bedi. The couple welcomed their daughter Mehr in November 2018 and later their son Guriq in October 2021.

Meanwhile, Parineeti Chopra, who recently embraced motherhood, welcomed her son Neer in October last year with her husband, politician Raghav Chadha.
