Bollywood actress Sameera Reddy, who married businessman Akshai Varde in January, is pregnant.

Confirming the news, the mother-to-be said: “Yes, we are expecting our first baby and we are very, very happy. Our child is expected in early May. God has been very kind. I am blessed,” she added.

“I am being careful and keeping a low profile,” says the actress who is extremely attached to her sister Meghna’s child.

Reddy and Varde were attracted to each other because of their mutual passion for motorbikes.

“Akshai has his own range of motorbikes. That’s how we met. I love motorbikes and riding them is my passion. Akshai saw me whizzing past on this mean, macho machine. I think he was impressed by my love for motorbikes.”

“Our relationship started there. We knew each other for years before our marriage. Akshai is well-known in his own field but not part of showbiz. I think that was very important for me. I wanted to marry outside the film industry,” she said.
