Katrina Kaif’s viral photo leaves fans excited. Netizens are already congratulating the actress and her husband, Vicky Kaushal.
For a long time now, reports of Katrina Kaif expecting her first child with Vicky Kaushal have been making headlines. While the couple has not either confirmed or denied their pregnancy reports, a new photo has now surfaced on social media, in which Katrina’s baby bump is clearly visible.
Recently, a photo of Katrina Kaif surfaced on social media in which the actress was seen posing in a maroon gown, while also flaunting her baby bump. It remains unclear if Katrina was shooting for her maternity photoshoot or if the viral picture is from some ad shoot.
Soon after the picture was shared on Reddit, several social media users expressed excitement and congratulated the actress. “So so happy for her…. Congratulations! .. 🧿🧿🧿❤️❤️❤️,” one of the users wrote. “My inner 14-year-old fan is screaming. Congratulations. 🧿,” added another. “For a moment I thought it was some throwback to pregnant Kareena. But wohooo!! Congratulations,” a third comment read.
How Did the Pregnancy Rumours Start?
Speculations regarding Katrina Kaif’s pregnancy began on July 30, when a video of the actress and Vicky at a ferry port in Mumbai started doing the rounds. Dressed in an oversized white shirt and baggy pants, Katrina’s casual outfit and careful walk led many fans to wonder if she was expecting. Comments such as “Is she pregnant?” and “Seems pregnant for sure” flooded the post, setting the internet buzzing.
Before this, Katrina’s New Year’s Eve post in a polka-dot dress had already triggered pregnancy chatter. Many social media users linked her look to a so-called Bollywood “polka-dot pregnancy myth,” drawing parallels with Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone, who were both spotted in similar prints while expecting. However, a flowy dress and a viral video alone do not make a baby bump, and the speculation largely remained baseless.
The rumour mill hit its peak on August 7, when a viral post claimed that Vicky and Katrina were expecting their first child in October or November. However, the twist was soon uncovered, the post was entirely fan-made and did not originate from Katrina, Vicky, or their close circle. Social media users quickly debunked the claim, with one sarcastically commenting, “Does Katrina know she’s pregnant?” while another said, “They didn’t confirm, and you’re already spreading rumours!”
The post, decorated with baby footprints and a “family of three” caption, looked more like a piece of imaginative fan fiction than an official announcement.
