Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor announced their pregnancy in July last year. Post that, Alia went on to break a lot of pregnancy-related stereotypes. Besides working on a Hollywood action movie during the first trimester, the actress juggled several promotional events in India. The actress has finally opened up on how she managed it all.
Speaking to a leading daily, Alia shared pregnancy never stopped her from hitting professional milestones. “I don’t believe in limiting myself unless there’s some physical limitation. I was pregnant, so yes, there was scope for many limitations, as pregnancy is unpredictable. I decided to take each day as it comes and listen to my body. Of course, work is very important, but at that point, my baby and my health were my priority. From the very beginning, I told myself that only if I was comfortable, will I push myself. Touchwood, my pregnancy didn’t hold me back physically,” she said.
Alia also talked about how she faced some issues while working with a baby bump: “Yes, the first few weeks were slightly difficult as I had major exhaustion and nausea, but at that time, I didn’t talk about it because you are not supposed to say anything for the first 12 weeks, right? That’s what everybody says, so I had to keep that information to myself, but I was listening to my body.”
“I managed to shoot my first action film while I was pregnant! That is a story I will tell for years because it also makes you realise how much your body is capable of if you just put your mind to it,”Alia added.
Hey Aloo, we’re so proud! Here’s hoping you keep smashing stereotypes and big career goals in 2023 as well.
