Bollywood actress, Neha Dhupia recently opened up about her journey from pregnancy to marriage and then motherhood. She also spoke about her being pregnant before tying the knot with actor, Angad Bedi. The couple had surprised fans and the industry people with their intimate wedding ceremony in 2018, after dating for a brief period of time.
Neha Dhupia’s take on her pregnancy
In a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter India, actress, Neha Dhupia spoke about how she found out that she was pregnant before she and Angad had decided to get married. She shared that her close friend, Soha Ali Khan, was the first person to know about this. Neha said that she was having dinner at a restaurant, when she fainted on Soha Ali Khan’s husband, Kunal Kemmu and the next morning she broke the news about her pregnancy to Soha. She said:
“They were the first ones to get to know that we were pregnant. Also, because we were eating in a restaurant and I fainted on Kunal Kemmu. The next morning, we met again, and that’s when I told her that I was pregnant.”
Neha also spoke about how easy it was to share such big news with a friend who just became a mother. According to her it was easier to share it with a friend rather than parents. She mentioned how difficult the situation was as she was pregnant before marriage and she had barely dated the guy. In her words:
“You are also like… not married, you barely dated the guy. This information, no matter how unorthodox or orthodox you are, it’s just easier to share it with your friends, and friends who have just had a baby, as opposed to telling your parents. It’s a tough one to have.”
Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi’s intimate wedding ceremony
Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi tied the knot on May 10, 2018, in a private and intimate ceremony held at a Gurudwara in Delhi. Only around 30 to 40 close friends and family members were invited, which included cricketers like Ajay Jadeja and Ashish Nehra, VJ Gaurav Kapur and filmmaker, Karan Johar. As the wedding was a sudden decision, the couple couldn’t invite all of their friends. Neha recalled that because of the chaos, she wasn’t even able to invite Soha Ali Khan to her wedding.

In this candid interview, Neha also spoke about how the couple faced questions regarding the sudden timing of their marriage as some people questioned whether the couple got married only because of the pregnancy. She shared:
“You are always questioned that, Are you together because this happened, or you genuinely want to be together? It worked out well. There’s no other way I would want it.”
