Pregnancy, though one of the most beautiful experiences in a woman's life, is no cakewalk. Even if you are faking it. Neha Sharma would know. The leading lady of Anubhav Sinha's Tum Bin 2 had a gruelling time shooting for the film with a heavy prosthetic belly throughout her 41-day schedule in Scotland.

Interestingly, Neha's pregnancy shoot was supposed to get over in a day, but for some reason - call it a jinxed shot, if you want - it would never pan out well. Finally, the actress ended up carrying the baby bump around till the last day of the schedule, when they got that perfect shot.

Says a source from the set, “Given the heaviness of the kit, Neha actually felt like a pregnant lady and exhibited the same body language. It came naturally to her.“

Ask the actress about her '41-day pregnancy' and she explains, “I had to wear a heavy prosthetic belly to the set almost daily. One day , the boys (her co-stars) wore it for fun, but took it off immediately. They couldn't bear the weight for more than a couple of minutes. So, imagine my plight.“

It's for nothing that they say moms are special.
