If Kareena Kapoor Khan should be credited for making pregnancy a style statement, mum-to-be Esha Deol should be credited for keeping a celeb pregnancy extremely low-key.

Deol has been cooking up a storm for her family, in-laws as well as close friends and it looks like she has taken a few recipes and tips from none other than her saasuma.
The gorgeous expecting mum cooked the famous Sindhi curry and used her mum-in-law's recipe. She even posted a picture explaining the same and clearly loved preparing the dish for everybody including brother-in-law Vaibhav Vohra.
Along with the picture she wrote: "Happy rainy Sunday. Cooked sindhi curry. My mother in law's special recipe. Friends family and hubby indulged in binge eating. Me and my satisfied tummy (emoticon) @bharattakhtani3...#rainysunday #sindhicurry #funfoodfamily #HappyMe #Mominlawrecipe (sic)."
Friends shower Esha with gifts
The yummy mummy-to-be also posted a picture of herself receiving gifts from family members and friends who are now eagerly awaiting the arrival of her baby.
"Ashni, a super talented dear friend of mine gifted 'mommy to be' me a cute teddy angel. (emoticon) Customized by her @bloom89 #TeddyAngel #MommyToBe (sic)," she wrote along with this cute photograph.
