Here, we have a list of some Bollywood and television actresses who hid their pregnancy journey and revealed it only after the child’s birth.
Dor fame actress and one of the most talented divas of Bollywood, Gul Panaag, hid her pregnancy all the nine-months and even after six months of the baby’s arrival. Yes, you heard that absolutely right! The former Miss India married pilot beau, Rishi Attari in 2011 and was blessed with a baby boy in early 2018. Successfully keeping everything away from the media glare, the couple lovingly named their apple of the eye, Nihal.
Sharing the good news much later, Gul revealed to Mumbai Mirror, “Rishi and I have always valued our privacy. Becoming parents is a special experience and we decided that we’d like to go through it without the distraction of public attention. Family and close friends knew about Nihal but we refrained from posting anything on the social media. He is almost six months old and it has been a roller coaster ride! I’m charmed by his gurgles and giggles even if it is a bit of a struggle with erratic sleep and feeding schedules. Life and goals are taking shape parallelly, with a little more coordination between Rishi and me to include Nihal.”
