Examples
Neena Gupta, Sarika also had children out of wedlock
Interestingly, Mahie isn't the first actress in Bollywood who made heads turn with the bold decision of having a child out of wedlock.
Earlier veteran actresses like Neena Gupta and Sarika had set strong examples in this case.
While Neena gave birth to her daughter Masaba Gupta with cricketer Viv Richards, Sarika had her love child (daughter Shruti Haasan) with veteran actor Kamal Haasan.
