Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt, on Friday, announced that she is all set to launch her own line of maternity wear after she got 'overwhelmed' while shopping for her clothes during her pregnancy.
Taking to Instagram, Alia talked about how the idea crossed her mind while shopping for her maternity clothes and she even thought she should 'raid' her husband-actor Ranbir Kapoor's wardrobe, at times. Further revealing that she herself designed her maternity clothes by adding elastic to her favourite jeans or wearing shirts she didn't have to share with Ranbir, Alia said she also wore a lot of flowy dresses to avoid ‘any unwanted belly touching’.

She wrote, "Two years ago, I started a children's clothing brand. Everyone asked why I'm doing a kids brand when I don't have kids. Now, I'm launching my own line of maternity-wear. I don't think anyone will ask why (smiley face emoticon). But let me tell you anyway. It's not like I've bought maternity clothes before. But when I got down to it, I was overwhelmed."
Alia continued, "You don't know how you're going to look or feel over the next few months and let's be honest, not being able to find the right thing to wear can be stressful. Do I buy brands I already wear but in a bigger size? Should I raid Ranbir's wardrobe? And just because my body is changing doesn't mean my sense of style has to, right?"

"So I started making my personal style more bump-friendly. I added elastic to my favourite jeans, designed shirts that I didn't have to share with my husband, and wore flowy dresses so as to not invite any unwanted belly-touching. Comfort took priority over any 'airport looks'. What started off as me trying to fill a gap in my existing wardrobe, led to an entire maternity collection. And I can't wait to give you a sneak-peek tomorrow!" the actress concluded in her post.
For the unversed, Alia announced her pregnancy in June this year by posting a picture of herself and Ranbir from the hospital.
On the work front, she was last seen with her husband Ranbir in the Ayan Mukerji directed ‘Brahmastra’, which also features Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Ranbir Kapoor and Mouni Roy. It was released on September 9. Alia will also be seen in Karan Johar's next directorial film ‘Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’ with Ranveer Singh, and Farhan Akhtar's ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ with Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif.
Not just that, she is all set to make her Hollywood debut, ‘Heart of Stone’. The Netflix film also stars Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan.
