The field of entertainment always offers a tricky scenario for actresses who get into the family way, when they are at the peak of their careers. Lucrative offers, enthusiasm to keep working, and the eagerness to not let any work unfinished forces the ladies in the entertainment world to at times work even when they are pregnant. This is in no way a trend that has been seen in today’s times. This has been happening from time immemorial and many actresses from the likes of Jaya Bachchan, Hema Malini, Sridevi, Kajol, Juhi Chawla have worked when they were in their family way!!

We look at the present times and date back till a few years back to get a fresh list of leading ladies who have taken this bold decision of keeping work as their first priority even when they were in the best phase of their lives, of expecting their kid.
