Family's the word. As Bollywood beauties prepare to welcome their bundle of joys this year, a happy life of motherhood and family awaits them.

Konkona Sen Sharma

One of the most talented actresses around today, Konkona is pregnant and beaming.

The actress married boyfriend Ranvir Shorey last September.

For now, Konkona isn't signing any new film and us staying put in Kolkata, where her mother, filmmaker Aparna Sen, lives.  We just hope she continues to act after delivering her baby. After all, she does have more power-packed performances to deliver on screen.

After being married for a decade, it's baby time for Mandira Bedi and husband Raj Kaushal.

Mandira, who's more into cricket these days than acting, and her husband Raj Kaushal, are expecting their first baby. Buzz is that Mandira, who's more into cricket these days than acting, had wanted to keep it a secret but her baby bump was all too visible under her designer dress at an event and the word spread.

According to reports, the baby is due in June.

Another first-time mother. The Mohabbatein girl Preeti Jhangiani has been married to actor Parvin Dabas for over three years now.

It goes without saying that the couple are over the moon and have begun planning for the new member to the family. Expect to spot the daddy doing toy shopping and diaper duties!

Twice is nice!

Yep, the actress, married to ad man Roopak Saluja, is expecting her second baby after her son, Zen.

In fact, Tara lost out on a film by Rensil D'Silva (of Kurbaan fame) due to her pregnancy. The actress, who's worked in Khosla Ka Ghosla, Page 3 and Saaya, was quoted as saying, 'I'm looking forward more to motherhood than any film.'

The Bengali beauty and her businessman husband Sanjay Chakrabarty are all set to welcome a new addition to their family.

Already blessed with a son (Ankan), this will be Rituparna's second child.

Despite the pregnancy, the actress hasn't slowed down, as she continues to fulfil her previous commitments. Yet, the mother is leaving no stone unturned to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
