Several actresses have hidden their baby bumps in their first trimester despite the media questioning them about pregnancy. From Rani Mukerji to Neha Dhupia - take a look at the list of actresses who blatantly denied pregnancy reports only to have flaunted their bumps months later.

Ever since Angad and Neha got married in May this year, rumours were rife that the actress was pregnant. When her father and husband were asked to comment on the same they both denied all such reports. Neha was seen wearing extremely lose outfits, hiding her bump in most of the photos on Instagram and elsewhere on social media dropping major hints to the paparazzi! Eventually the couple announced pregnancy last week with a couple of photos shared on Instagram where the actress is seen proudly flaunting her bump. Pregnant Couple Neha Dhupia And Angad Bedi Are All Smiles At The Airport - View Pics

Mira Rajput Kapoor

Shahid had hinted earlier that he and his wife Mira were planning to have a second baby soon. So, when pictures of Mira wearing flowy outfits showing a hint of the baby bump circulated online earlier this year, netizens were quick to guess that the celebrity wifey was preggers. Neither Sasha not Mira commented on it until she completed first four months of pregnancy and then took to social media to announce the good news. Misha Kapoor Turns 2!

After a hush hush wedding to boyfriend Dino Lalvani, reports suggested that Lisa was pregnant. She, like other actors, refused to comment on it until she shared the first photo of her baby bump on Instgaram. Lisa and Dino's son was born last year and they named him Zack. Ever since then Lisa has been showing off her son to the world on social media.

Rani and Aditya Chopra have been extremely secretive about their marriage and personal life. So, when the speculations of Rani's pregnancy started doing the rounds, we honestly didn't expect either of them to accept it. The Mardaani actress was seen flaunting her baby bump in her second trimester making it evident that she was pregnant. Rani and Aditya gave birth to a baby girl Adira on December 9, 2015.

Not just pregnancy but Bollywood actors have also straightway shunned rumours of their love affair and have later been seen holding hands enjoying a vacation together! We wonder what's the need to deny such stories in the first place when you're gonna admit to it months later.
