Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia is known for her woke and bindass attitude among the fans. While the gorgeous lady is currently in her third trimester, she recently revealed that several filmmakers dropped her from projects after they realized that she was pregnant. Neha also said that she requested filmmakers to ‘workaround’ or find out a solution but it didn’t change their minds.
Talking to Quint, Neha asserted, “We feel that in the industry a lot has changed. As actors, we can try but it’s the ones who give the opportunity who are the real changemakers. Some so many makers told me, ‘Hey Neha I’m sorry but you’re pregnant, you’ve got to step down’. I was like ‘Give me a chance where we can workaround this’ and it was a clear ‘no’.”
“Then I went to Behzad, my director, just to tell him that ‘Listen, I’m five and a half months pregnant. I’ve just come to Bombay. I want you to know this. I know you haven’t started shooting yet. I had already started reshooting but they hadn’t started reshooting yet. So, I said ‘Up to you, whatever you want to do’. He said ‘This is not the time and age for me to fire someone especially because you’re pregnant. There are cops in the world who do their duty and they’re pregnant at the same time’,” she recounted.
Neha had been shooting for Behzad Khambata’s film ‘A Thursday’ when she was eight months pregnant. She played the role of a pregnant cop Catherine Alvarez. The film also stars Maya Sarao, Dimple Kapadia, Yami Gautam and Atul Kulkarni.
Neha Dhupia welcomed her first child, daughter Mehr Dhupia Bedi, with her husband Angad Bedi on November 18, 2018. The couple tied the knot in May 2018.
