2025 wasn’t just a year of glamorous red carpets and big releases for Bollywood. It was a year of new beginnings, of the soft light that descends upon a woman’s life when she becomes a mother for the first time. From Kiara Advani to Katrina Kaif, many actresses embarked on their journeys into motherhood this year and reminded us that even after playing a million roles, a woman’s truest identity lies in the soft strength within her that gives birth to new life. Juggling acting, career, responsibilities, fatigue, and love, these women demonstrate that women cannot be confined to one box. They are beautiful and complete in every form.
KIARA ADVANI
2025 began with happy news for Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra. In February, they announced the arrival of their first child, and the world admired Kiara’s baby bump at the Met Gala that same year. On July 16, 2025, their daughter, Saraayah Malhotra, was born, which means “God’s Princess.” Kiara wrote, “From our prayers to our arms…” a line that echoes the feelings of every expecting mother. Between acting and womanhood, Kiara proved that a woman holds infinite role,s each time complete, each time beautiful.
ATHIYA SHETTY
Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul announced their pregnancy in March. Their daughter, Evaarah, was born on March 23, 2025, which means “Gift of God.”
Athiya wrote in her post, “Our baby girl, our everything.” Her quiet smile in one photo, her “mummy glow” shimmering in the sunlight, all remind us that when a woman becomes a mother, every corner of her world becomes a little brighter.
PATRALEKHAA
Patralekhaa and Rajkummar Rao‘s love story has always been genuine, quiet, and deep. Announced in July, and right on their fourth wedding anniversary, November 15, 2025, they welcomed a daughter.
Her post read, “Greatest blessing God has given us on our 4th anniversary.” After years of partnership, struggles, dreams, and holding each other’s hands, becoming a mother brought not just joy, but a sense of completeness for Patralekhaa.
PARINEETI CHOPRA
Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha announced in August that their family is growing. On October 20, their son, Neer, was born, a name that not only has a meaning (“pure, divine, limitless”) but is also a beautiful combination of Parineeti and Raghav’s names. Parineeti wrote, “Our hearts found peace in an eternal drop of life.”
KATRINA KAIF
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal welcomed a lovely son in November 2025. When Katrina posted that photo of her baby bump, “Starting the best chapter of our lives…” the entire internet came to a standstill. Katrina has always been a hardworking, calm, and dignified artist. This journey into motherhood has shown her that same beauty inside and out, as a woman in her entirety.
2025 proved that for these actresses, motherhood wasn’t a setback, but a new beginning. From the flashes of cameras to the sleepless nights through it all, they displayed the same feminine spirit, poised, smiling, and moving forward at every turn.
These aren’t just stars; they’re women who juggle careers and become the heartbeat of their families. The tiny hands that came into their homes this year reminded us that true power lies in the world that creates, runs, and spreads love without any fuss.
