The Story in Brief
At the album launch of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, actor Yash praised co-star Kiara Advani for shooting while pregnant. He said she gave '100% commitment' even after she 'was carrying the baby' and that bodyguards looked after her on set. Freepressjournal.in reports Yash was worried about the physically demanding shoot.
Kiara Advani was pregnant during much of the filming but only the director and producer knew initially. She continued working for seven months, and the remaining shoot was moved to Mumbai in June 2025 to accommodate her. She and husband Sidharth Malhotra welcomed a baby girl, Saraayah Malhotra, in July 2025.
The Indian Opinion
The media narrative around Kiara Advani working while pregnant treats it as a heroic exception. Yet lakhs of Indian women work through pregnancy every day, often without bodyguards or special accommodation. The real story here is not her '100% commitment' but the studio's secrecy: they hid her condition for months and only adjusted the schedule when unavoidable. Toxic's set was safe, but many film sets are not. Will Bollywood now normalise pregnancy as a routine part of an actor's career, not a crisis to be managed in silence?
