when Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi He got married in an intimate gurudwara ceremony in 2018, catching many by surprise. The two never publicly acknowledged their relationship, so the impromptu wedding quickly became a topic of controversy. Six months later, the arrival of their daughter Mehr sparked curiosity about the timeline of their relationship. Now, the couple has spoken candidly about their journey, sharing how longtime friendships and unexpected pregnancies brought them together.In an interview on Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiya’s podcast, Angad revealed that his feelings for Neha were one-sided for years. “I chased Neha for 8 years. I chased her all the time, but she never said yes, she was too busy,” he said.He also remembered the moment he first noticed it. “When I saw him for the first time, I thought he was very beautiful. He was running on a treadmill and I was behind, watching and thinking, what an amazing form. I fell in love with his running form. I said he is an athlete.”At that time, Neha was focused on her career and was not looking for an active relationship. “I thought I had to wake up, exercise, go to work – my whole focus was work. It wasn’t like I wanted to just focus on work, but if I met someone interesting along the way, that was fine,” she shared.Angad also tried to bridge the gap by collaborating professionally. “He asked me to do a film with him and he said there would be no narration, just show up. I went. I spent time with him on set, but his mother was also there. I ended up spending a lot of time with my mother. I thought, if her mother is so nice, she must be nice too,” he said.Despite his best efforts, he struggled to get her attention. “There were 5-6 interesting people around him. I wasn’t even in his peripheral vision,” Agade admitted, adding that his parents were also supportive. “I went to his parents and they said, ‘We’re fine, ask him.’ But he kept me by his side for years.”Ultimately, what changed everything was the pregnancy, which they both described as the turning point in their story. “I want to say thank you God that we got pregnant, it’s a blessing that brought the love story,” said Neha. “Otherwise, you keep looking around. The love you’re looking for is right next to you, but we always look away. He was by my side the whole time.”She also added, “It was our daughter who brought us together because we were pregnant, as we just did. The whole universe came together first for her, then for me, then for us.”Angad lightened the mood with a joke about his place in life, saying, “I’m in the top five of his priority list: kids first, then work, then parents, then home, then me.” Neha replied with a smile, “First priority is family, second priority is work and me.”In another chat with Peeping Moon, Neha directly addressed the speculation. “Let me set the record straight, yes I was pregnant before I got married so that’s fine.” Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she recalled how the news took even her close friends by surprise. “At that moment there was just chaos, I was pregnant.” He revealed that while he could not invite Soha Ali Khan to the wedding, the actress was one of the first to know about the pregnancy.Reflecting on that phase, Neha admitted that her relationship with Angad was still new. “You’re also…married, you’ve barely had any contact with the guy. This information, no matter how unorthodox or orthodox you are, is easier to tell your friends and friends who just had a baby than your parents. It’s hard to have.”
