Mumbai Aug 26 (IANS) Actress Neha Dhupia who is expecting her first child with actor husband Angad Bedi says she was frowned upon for not going public about her pregnancy.
A day after Neha and Angad announced the news on social media the couple walked the ramp at designer Payal Singhal and Lakme Salon s show The Showstopping Bride at the Lakme Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2018 edition here on Saturday.
This is not the first time a pregnant actress did catwalk. Earlier actress Kareena Kapoor Khan had famously flaunted her blooming baby bump at a fashion show.
Asked how does she see women not shying away from flaunting the bump or working during pregnancy Neha told IANS here: "That is amazing. I read an article about a woman who was eight months pregnant and was shooting Black Panther and one more... Gal Gadot came back for a patchwork of her films... So I have also continuously been working and did not go public about my situation and I was frowned upon on Why is she wearing loose clothes or why is she putting on weight? "
Neha 37 says she wasn t concerned about the comments.
"For me it doesn t matter what other people think of you as long as you are healthy and being respectful to your personal and professional life and striking that balance. And you should. I know that no one can do it better than a woman " she added.
Walking the ramp this time was a memorable experience for Neha a former beauty queen.
"It has been amazing to be on the ramp looking and feeling like this... A lot of people take a break and won t come to work but that s not true " she added.
Neha married Angad in a hush-hush ceremony at a Gurudwara in New Delhi on May 10. She says her husband was "is rock solid and funny".
"We have so much to talk about. He is going to become a father soon and we are very excited about it... I like his relaxed attitude and which is the right kind because neither he is laidback nor does he take life too seriously."
