Shilpa Shetty is reportedly expecting her first child with husband Raj Kundra.

The 35-year-old actress, who married businessman Kundra in November 2009, is said to be in her second trimester.

According to The Times of India, a friend of the actress said: "Shilpa suffered a miscarriage earlier this year, so this time Raj and she did not want to break the news till the first trimester was complete. Now, she has started telling her close friends."

Earlier in the year, Shetty denied reports that she was pregnant and told her followers on Twitter that she would make any personal announcements herself, rather than informing the press first.

Kundra is said to be spending as much time as he can with Shetty to ensure she gets all the rest she needs for a healthy and safe pregnancy.
