Actress Soni Razdan says she unknowingly smoked around 100 cigarettes in a day while shooting Mahesh Bhatt’s 1993 film *Gumrah*, during the time she was pregnant with her younger daughter, Alia Bhatt. She says she was not a regular smoker and only realised later, describing that she had no clue Alia was inside her during parts of the shoot.
Razdan also recounts earlier pregnancy experiences while working on the television show *Buniyaad*, where she says she became pregnant during the early stages of filming. She describes how the production environment affected her daily routines, including praise for the support she received from the Ramesh Sippy-led team during *Buniyaad*.
Across outlets, the central focus stays on the smoking claim and the fact that she says she was unaware of her pregnancy at the time. While one report also places the story within broader reflections on working mothers, the other sources keep closer to the recalled anecdote and basic family timeline, with similar wording and details about *Gumrah* and Alia’s birth year.
