Bollywood’s love affair with larger-than-life action sequences isn’t exactly a secret. And a few fearless actors have taken this challenge up a notch. Did you know that Deepika Padukone was pregnant while shooting Singham Again? But she isn’t the only one who did so. Here are some Bollywood actors who shot action films while they were pregnant.

1. Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt made headlines worldwide when she starred in the international action-thriller Heart of Stone. But what’s even more buzz-worthy is that she was pregnant while filming. Just before starting the shoot, Alia found out she was expecting, but did that stop her from completing the film? Of course not. Between dodging explosions and taking care of her health, Alia handled it all like a pro.

2. Deepika Padukone

One action film while pregnant? That’s impressive. Two? That’s Deepika Padukone for you. She was pregnant while shooting the intense climax of Kalki 2898 AD and also filmed Singham Again during her pregnancy. If that doesn’t scream commitment, we don’t know what does. Deepika’s work ethic is top-tier, proving she’s as fierce off-screen as she is on it.

3. Neha Dhupia

Neha Dhupia’s role as a pregnant cop in A Thursday came with an interesting twist. She wasn’t just acting, she was actually eight months pregnant. Director Behzad Khambata reworked the script to fit her pregnancy into the storyline. Now that’s the kind of changemakers we need. Despite battling morning sickness and discomfort, Neha powered through her role.

4. Yami Gautam

Yami Gautam found herself in a bit of a tricky spot during the filming of Article 370. She discovered she was pregnant mid-shoot, with half of the film still left to complete. While many of the high-octane sequences were already wrapped up, Yami admitted that balancing pregnancy and the remaining shoot was mentally exhausting. 

In a world where male action heroes are celebrated for their daring stunts, these women redefined resilience, proving that pregnancy doesn’t limit ambition. Whether it’s Alia in Heart of Stone or Deepika in the Singham Again movie, they inspire others and show that nothing stands in the way of a determined spirit.
