A couple of days ago, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal shared the wonderful news that they are expecting their first child. Soon, conversations around Katrina’s age began to surface, as the actress, at 42, is all set to embrace motherhood. However, Katrina is not alone—many Bollywood and TV actresses have become mothers in their late 30s and 40s. Let’s take a look at some inspiring examples.
**Kareena Kapoor Khan**
Kareena Kapoor Khan has broken many stereotypes surrounding pregnancy. She gave birth to her first son, Taimur, at 36, and welcomed her second son, Jeh, at 40. Remarkably, she continued working throughout both pregnancies without taking a break.
**Bipasha Basu**
Bipasha Basu became a mother at the age of 43. Her daughter, Devi, was born in November 2022, marking a beautiful chapter in her life.
**Aishwarya Rai Bachchan**
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan embraced motherhood at 38. Her daughter, Aaradhya, was born in 2011, and since then, she has been a doting mother while continuing her successful career.
**Rani Mukerji**
Rani Mukerji, who won her first National Award this year at the age of 47, became a mother at 37. Her daughter, Adira, was born in 2015.
**Farah Khan**
Choreographer, filmmaker, and actress Farah Khan was blessed with triplets in 2008. She became a mother at the age of 43 through IVF, showing that motherhood can come in many beautiful forms.
**Anita Hassanandani**
Many TV actresses have also embraced motherhood in their late 30s or 40s. One such example is Anita Hassanandani, the popular Naagin actress, who became a mother at 40.
**Kishwer Merchant**
Kishwer Merchant, known for her stint on Bigg Boss Season 9, also welcomed motherhood at 40. She and her husband, Suyyash Rai, celebrated the birth of their son in 2021.
**Bharti Singh**
Comedian Bharti Singh, like Kareena Kapoor Khan, has challenged stereotypes about pregnancy. She became a mother at 38 and continued working throughout her pregnancy. Impressively, just days after giving birth, she was back on the sets of her show.
**Rihanna**
Ending our list with an international celeb—Rihanna. Globally, becoming a mother in the late 30s, 40s, or even 50s is quite common. However, in India, early marriage and pregnancy remain the norm. Rihanna recently became a mother at 37, welcoming her third child on September 13, 2025.
Clearly, these women prove that age is just a number. A woman can embrace motherhood gracefully and confidently even in their 30s and 40s.
