Neha Dhupia On Why She Disclosed Pregnancy News Late: “Was Worried No One Would Offer Me Work”
Life is too short for off days – that’s the dictum Neha Dhupia lives by. The lady who’s in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy right now is looking forward to welcoming her little bundle of joy. She reveals that she wants “no maternity leave”. Atta girl!
After playing peek-a-boo with her fans, and the media for
months, Neha Dhupia finally confirmed her pregnancy on August 24 with
an adorable picture on social media. Revealing why she kept the happy
news under wraps for so long, Dhupia told mid-day this morning, “I didn't want
to tell people that I was pregnant for a large part of these nine months
because I didn't want people's attitude towards me to change. 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. I did Eela and
Styled By Neha through my pregnancy.”
Even in the last trimester of her pregnancy, Neha is
putting work over rest. She’s attending to her work commitments like a boss.
Life is too short for off days - that’s the philosophy the glowing mommy-to-be
is living by. “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,"
says the actress.

When I have nightmares and wake up to his face, I am immediately at peace," she gushes, before quipping, “He is the best dad-in-the-making, but I'm worried what will happen when he and the baby gang up on me.”
