Karishma Tanna looks very happy and confident in her pregnancy as she shares the motivational video. On Instagram, the actress showed herself doing chest presses on a slope with heavy weights, with her baby bump clearly showing, and finishing with a few deadlifts. She’s mixing fitness with honesty and a friendly invitation to other “preggos.”
Inside the gym video and the workout shown
In the video, Karishma does a chest exercise on an incline, using heavy weights and moving slowly and carefully. She seems very focused on how she’s doing the exercise, and the session finishes with a short set of deadlifts. The video shows she’s doing strength work that has been changed for pregnancy, instead of lots of cardio or extremely heavy weights.
Her clothes and how she stands make her bump very obvious, and this adds to how real and easy to relate to the video is. She’s moving in a very deliberate way and looks to be concentrating on keeping steady and breathing, while lifting heavier weights than a lot of people would think okay to lift when pregnant.
Caption, motivation, and impact on pregnant followers
Karishma wrote with her post: ‘Come on, preggos! Let’s work out!! I missed posting my gym videos?? Did you too??’ This message is both playful and sincere, and she’s telling other expectant mothers to be active if they feel they are able to. She’s making being fit part of pregnancy seem normal for lots of women.
The video is a gentle push for people who already work out, and for those who are missing their exercise from before they were pregnant. By actually showing herself working out, she’s lessening the judgement around strength training during pregnancy, but she’s also saying that you need to decide what’s right for you and get advice from a doctor.
The pregnancy announcement and friends responses
Karishma and her husband, Varun Bangera, said they are going to have their first child on April tth, saying “A little Miracle, Our greatest gift – August 2026”. Lots of people she works with and her friends quickly had nice things to say.
Lots of coworkers and friends wrote quick messages of congratulations and sent heart symbols. People in the film and television industry responded with happiness and affection, wishing the couple well and saying they’re excited to meet the baby. This is a happy important moment for the couple.
Career context and public life as she embraces motherhood
Karishma has had a career for twenty years in television, films and streaming shows. Early on in television, a lot of people saw her and she became more well-known with parts in shows like Naagin and Qayamat Ki Raat. She’s also been in films like Grand Masti, Sanju, and Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari.
She’s been praised for her work in streaming series and has continued to play a variety of characters. Most recently she was in a spy movie that kept her in the public eye. Continuing to show her fitness publicly is in line with how prepared and strong she always is professionally.
Broader conversation about pregnancy, exercise, and safety
When celebrities share their pregnancy workouts, it can change what people expect from being active during pregnancy, and make strength training seem easier to do. However, experts point out that every pregnancy is different, and what you do should be in line with what your doctor says. It’s still really important to listen to your doctor.
For a lot of women who are expecting, the best thing is to have a mix of exercise, rest and good food. Karishma’s post can encourage a balanced attitude: being strong and looking after yourself, not feeling like you have to do a lot. If women want to do what she’s doing, they should change the exercises to suit them and make sure they are comfortable and safe.
Karishma Tanna's gym video isn’t just about the exercise itself; it gets people talking about fitness, who you are, and big changes in your life. As she gets closer to August 2026 and a new time in her family life, being open about things might help others to have the pregnancy they want, while being careful and having support.
