Mumbai, September 10, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Actress Parineeti Chopra has opened up about shooting her OTT debut “Shaque: Trust No One” while she was pregnant, saying she and her husband, politician Raghav Chadha, feel fortunate that the pregnancy coincided with a project whose makers went out of their way to ensure her comfort and well-being.
Speaking at the trailer launch of the crime thriller, Parineeti revealed that she discovered she was pregnant only after filming had already begun. She said the situation initially came with concerns about maintaining professionalism without affecting the project.
“Raghav and I always joke about this, that thank God I was pregnant on this project with these makers and not on any other film with any other makers. We didn’t know beforehand. We found out once the shoot had already begun,” she said.
Parineeti credited producer Siddharth P. Malhotra, director Rensil D’Silva and producer Sapna Malhotra for the support they extended to her after learning about the pregnancy.
The actress said the team immediately reassured her and creatively modified action sequences to make them more comfortable without compromising the project.
“We were already in Shimla, in Chail, in very, very challenging locations, and I had to give them this news. I didn’t even finish my conversation. They were like, ‘We already knew.’ And they really kind of said, ‘You know, just don’t worry about anything,’” she recalled.
She added that the production team also arranged accommodation for her on location to reduce the need for daily travel on winding mountain roads.
“Our locations were really far away. They arranged for me to stay on set. They made arrangements so that I didn’t have to travel that much on those winding, mountainous roads every day. They made arrangements for me to live on set so that I could just come, shoot and get my rest,” Parineeti said.
The actress also spoke about the support she received from her family during the shoot. Raghav, her mother, mother-in-law and brothers travelled to Shimla and Chail to be with her, ensuring that someone from the family was always around.
“Raghav being Raghav, he ran to Shimla and came to be with me. My mom came, my mother-in-law came, and my brothers came. So it was like, ‘Does this entire family come to shoot?’ But it was just one after the other. Somebody or the other was always with me,” she said.
Parineeti described the experience as a beautiful and deeply special phase of her life. She also jokingly referred to the project as her baby’s debut alongside her own OTT debut.
“We joke that this is Neer’s debut along with my debut. So, yeah, it’s going to be the most special show for me. Always,” she concluded.
“Shaque: Trust No One” marks Parineeti’s OTT debut. The crime thriller is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 24.
