Pregnancy is a beautiful phase of life to cherish by everyone in the world. However, people’s perception of pregnancy has also changed completely with the changing times. For example, many Bollywood celebrities chose to break the stereotype of bearing a child only after marriage and opted to carry their pregnancy forward without following the same and created a trend of becoming pregnant even before the marriage.

Celebrated Bollywood astrologer cum Business Transformation Expert Hirav Shah says, “There are lots of secret marriages and lots of pre-marital sex which took place in Bollywood. Most marriages were just a sham. Lots of marriages were done just to hide the pregnancy. Most couples never spilled the beans.“
Hirav adds, “In India, people are still not fine with the idea of getting pregnant before marriage. Probably that is the reason, even a lot of our Bollywood beauties got married in a hurry so that they could cover their pre-marital pregnancy news. But, there are also a few who did not care much about what people would say and never tried to hide anything related to their pregnancy from the world.”
