And finally, on November 18, 2018, Neha and Angad became proud parents to their baby girl, Mehr Dhupia Bedi.

Neha Dhupia is back to work, one month after her delivery, on the sets of her audio chat show, No Filter Neha. Speaking to Bombay Times about 2018, a year which saw so much happening in her life, Neha shared, "This year has taught me a lot. When you accomplish so much personally, it changes you professionally as well. At the start of the year, I had not imagined that I’d become a wife and mother. It has all happened so fast; it’s beautiful."
The Lust Stories actor also opened up about motherhood and said that her baby girl has changed her perspective towards life. Neha added, "For all that I have accomplished personally, I need to get stronger and go out and continue working. My baby girl is barely a month old and she has already taught me so much. When I return from work and see her face, I realise that there is nothing that I cannot get past. Mehr also teaches me to adjust my tone around everyone because I speak softly with her."
Neha acted in two big films of 2018- Lust Stories and Helicopter Eela. She also had the second season of her chat show, BFFs with Vogue on Colors Infinity. With such a great year, she self-admittedly owes a lot to Karan Johar. She said, "I owe a lot in my life to Karan Johar. He could have gotten anybody to play the role that I did in Lust Stories. But he made me brave enough to play it. It was a topical issue which addressed female desire."
Neha also gave an interview to the Deccan Chronicle, a few days before Mehr was born. On being asked how the journey for her has been so far, the 38-year-old actress replied, "The journey has been absolutely amazing. It’s been different. Getting married, becoming a mom. Becoming a parent, I think, more than anything else. And continuing to work is something that keeps my plate full and I'm very, very excited about it."

Will her fans ever see her and husband, Angad on the silver screen together? To this Neha remarked, "I don’t know about when I’ll be doing a movie and stuff but the one thing I know is that I will bounce back to work very, very shortly so if we get an offer then we’ll definitely take it up."
Neha and Angad were trolled on social media incessantly, both when their wedding pictures surfaced online and when the couple announced Neha's pregnancy. Commenting on how she maintains her cool, Neha retorted, "I do that by not paying too much attention to it. I feel like I use social media to follow people I love and adore and I definitely use social media to put things out there, my work that I’m doing. And if people have opinions, they are entitled to it. If people choose to be harsh, I think they’re wasting their time and mine."
Coming back to Neha and motherhood, two days after Mehr was born, the couple revealed their little munchkin's name. Neha shared the following pic and captioned it as, "Mehr Dhupia Bedi says hello to the world." Hubby Angad also shared the same picture, and wrote, "Waheguru MEHR Kare @nehadhupia." Mehr is a Persian name which means ‘blessing’! (Don't Miss: Virat Kohli And Anushka Sharma Celebrated First Anniversary By Picnicking In Perth With Dolphins)
During her pregnancy phase, when Neha was asked in an interview if she and Angad have finalised any name for their baby, she had replied, “We have yet not decided what will be naming our baby. We don't know and even the gifts we are receiving has 'baby' written on them, so ya, we haven't thought about it yet.”
Well, we are so glad that Neha is back to work, and we urge her to keep posting beautiful pictures of Mehr.
