Motherhood is a really unique experience. Even though raising a child might be challenging at times, the process can often be incredibly enthralling. Parenting a child from the time they are a toddler till they are a teenager or an adult comes with a lot of duties and labour. In Bollywood, actors have repeatedly shown that they can accept and embrace pregnancy while also managing their professional profiles, especially in the field of the film industry, where actors must retain their glamorous lifestyle.

In Bollywood, women are now more free-spirited and open-minded as they work hard to secure the well-being of their families and themselves, shattering the beliefs like becoming a mom will ruin their celebrity life. Here is a list of actors who have embraced motherhood in 2022.
