5 shows, movies that cleverly disguised actor's growing baby bumps, including Kareena Kapoor and Kajol

Will and Grace on Comedy Central: In addition to breaking all barriers with their legendary portrayal of LGBTQIA+ characters, the award-winning American sitcom was one of few shows that attempted to hide pregnancies on screen. They came up with creative ways to shroud lead Debra Messing’s growing baby bump, from cleverly placed towels to flowers. As her pregnancy progressed, it became increasingly difficult to hide, leading to the star being written off the last four episode of the season but we give them an A + for effort though!

Kareena Kapoor in Laal Singh Chaddha releasing 2021: Kareena Kapoor was pregnant while shooting for her latest venture, upcoming comedy drama, Laal Singh Chaddha. Reports say that production will cover up her scenes from the movie using VFX. Sounds exciting? Can’t wait to watch Bebo’s new role.

Brooklyn Nine Nine on Comedy Central: While filming the third season of the incredibly popular sitcom, lead cop Melissa Fumero was pregnant with her first child. The production hid her belly throughout the show, using dark, oversized uniforms and other gimmicks. In a fun spin towards the pregnancy, they had her character pretend to be pregnant for a sting operation, which was one of the memorable episode from the season.

Kajol in We Are Family on Netflix: Karan Johar’s emotional drama We Are Family, saw Kajol pregnant with her second child during the shooting for the film. As a matter of fact, she was asked to perform dance movies for one of the hit numbers from the film but was unable to do so as she had to take the required precautions during her first trimester. To everyone’s surprise, Kajol gave birth to her baby boy just 3 days after the film released!

New Girl on Disney+Hotstar: Resident quirky queen Zooey Deschanel was pregnant while filming her hit TV show New Girl. Show runners found hilariously imaginative ways to hide her baby belly, including having her ride around on a scooter to having her injured in a full body cast. When she finally needed to take her maternity leave, they sent her character to jury duty, a masterful ploy to keep her pregnancy hidden.
