Alia Bhatt welcomed her first child, a baby girl, on Sunday, with her husband, actor Ranbir Kapoor. And, she received immense love and was showered with blessings in abundance. Bhatt is currently at the peak of her career after delivering some stellar performances in her recently released movies. She is winning hearts.

Becoming a mother is one of the greatest blessings. However, going by the common Bollywood misconception, the career of an actress is considered doomed if she gives birth to a child, particularly when young. As Alia Bhatt welcomes her first child at 29, it was these other actors who had kids before 30 and broke the glass ceiling by managing their career and motherhood effortlessly.
