New Delhi: Former beauty queen and Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia recently opened up on facing criticism for being pregnant before marrying Angad Bedi. The duo’s sudden wedding announcement had shocked one and sundry – given the fact that they never made their relationship public. Soon after the marriage, Neha shared her pregnancy news and that led to a widespread speculation over the timing.
Neha Dhupia On Being ‘Pregnant Before Marriage’
In a recent interaction with Mid-Day, Neha addressed the criticism she faced. She said, “I married Angad (Bedi), and after six months we welcomed our daughter (Mehr). But the biggest conversation around our wedding was, ‘How did the baby come in six months? Ye ho kaise gaya?’ (how did it happen). Even now, I see stories and tags on female actors who get pregnant before marriage. I feel, at least, I’m on the same list as Neena Gupta and Alia Bhatt. But honestly, this is ridiculous…Pregnancy is beautiful, and that’s it!”
