Parineeti Chopra has shared how she found out she was pregnant while shooting for her upcoming project Shaque. The actor spoke about it at the trailer launch of Shaque: Trust No One in Mumbai, where she was joined by her co-stars and the film's team.
Parineeti said she and her husband Raghav Chadha often talk about how lucky they were that this happened on this project and not any other film or with any other makers. The reason, she explained, is that they did not know about the pregnancy before the shoot had already begun.
Parineeti Chopra on Discovering Her Pregnancy During Shaque Shoot
At the trailer launch, Parineeti was asked about learning she was pregnant with her son Neer while shooting for Shaque. She said the makers handled the situation well and made things easy for her.
She shared that the team arranged for her to stay on set so she would not have to travel on Shimla's hilly roads. This, she said, made a big difference during the shoot.
"Raghav and I always discuss that 'Thank God, I was pregnant on this project with these makers and not any other film and any other makers'. This is because we didn't know before. We found out once the shoot had already begun." — Parineeti Chopra
Parineeti also said that Raghav Chadha rushed to be on her side once they found out. She spoke about the pressure of professionalism that comes into play in such situations, and how the support from the makers and her husband helped her through it.
Shaque Trailer Launch: Who Attended and What Happened
The trailer launch of Shaque: Trust No One took place in Mumbai. Parineeti Chopra attended the event along with Anup Soni, Soni Razdan, Jennifer Winget, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Harleen Sethi, Netflix's Tanya Bami, director Rensil D'Silva and producer Siddharth P Malhotra.
- The launch started very late, which inconvenienced the media present at the event.
- Parineeti made up for the delay with her bubbly appearance and her quotes during the interaction.
- The event brought together the film's cast, director, producer and Netflix team.
Parineeti's comments about her pregnancy and the shoot became one of the main talking points from the launch. Her story about staying on set instead of travelling Shimla's hilly roads shows how the production team adjusted its plans for her.
Our Take: Why This Story Matters
In our view, this is a simple but meaningful story about how a film set treats its people. Parineeti Chopra did not have to fight for basic comfort — the makers saw the situation and arranged for her to stay on set so she would not travel on Shimla's hilly roads. That is how it should work.
To put it plainly, the entertainment industry often talks about professionalism as if it means pushing through no matter what. Parineeti's story shows the other side — professionalism also means the team around you making room for real life. Her husband Raghav Chadha rushing to be by her side adds to that picture.
For readers, the takeaway is straightforward. Workplaces, whether film sets or offices, can support people during major life changes without slowing down. Parineeti's own words — that she was thankful this happened with these makers and not others — say it best.
The trailer launch itself started late and inconvenienced the media, which is a fair criticism. But Parineeti's openness about her pregnancy during the Shaque shoot gave the event a human moment that stood out.
