Kumkum Bhagya actor Pooja Banerjee on the joys of working through her pregnancy

Pooja Banerjee
Pooja Banerjee’s baby bump may be growing, but that is not stopping the actor from trotting to shoot every day. The actor, who has been playing Rhea Mehra in Kumkum Bhagya, hoped to take a sabbatical when she came to know of her pregnancy. “I didn’t know it was an option [on set] to act through my pregnancy until I had a discussion with the makers, who gave me the choice.”
Banerjee is grateful that the production house goes above and beyond to accommodate her requirements on set, but the biggest perk she says is “eating without caring about the added weight”. “It is new for the production house to have a pregnant artiste. So, they didn’t know how to handle the situation at first. [We had to navigate] the dancing, running, and falling shots creatively. They check my comfort level on difficult scenes. They alter scenes as much as possible.”
