Kareena Kapoor Khan has reacted to pregnancy rumours that spread after a viral video of the actress leaving a gym in Mumbai. Her family has dismissed the speculation, while Kareena herself responded to the attention with humour.
Mumbai: Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan has responded to speculation that she is expecting her third child with Saif Ali Khan, after a video of her leaving a gym sparked discussion on social media.
The video, which surfaced online on August 21, showed Kareena walking towards her car after a gym session. At one point, a member of her team used an umbrella to shield her from photographers. Some social media users interpreted her appearance in the video as a possible baby bump, leading to rumours that she could be pregnant.
What did Kareena Kapoor say about the pregnancy rumours?
Kareena did not issue a lengthy statement about the claims. Instead, she appeared to respond to the speculation in a light-hearted way.
She shared an Instagram Story featuring a man showing a visibly bloated stomach. The post also featured the song “Chocolate Lime Juice” from Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, along with laughing and pizza emojis.
The post was widely viewed as Kareena’s humorous response to the pregnancy speculation.
Is Kareena Kapoor pregnant with her third child?
A source close to Kareena Kapoor told Hindustan Times that she is not pregnant and that the speculation is untrue. Kareena’s team had also clarified that she was not expecting her third child.
Her sister-in-law Saba Pataudi also rejected the rumours. She suggested that appearances can be misleading and urged people to respect the family’s privacy.
There has been no announcement from Kareena Kapoor or Saif Ali Khan about expecting another child.
Why did the pregnancy rumours start?
The speculation began after the gym video circulated online, with some social media users focusing on Kareena’s appearance and interpreting the footage as evidence of a possible baby bump.
Saba Pataudi later described the situation as a matter of a “bad angle”, reinforcing the point that the viral footage was not evidence of a pregnancy.
Kareena and Saif Ali Khan already have two sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan.
What happened when paparazzi apologised to Kareena?
The story took another turn when Kareena was spotted in Mumbai on August 22, a day after the gym video went viral.
During the interaction, paparazzi reportedly apologised to her over the video that had triggered the pregnancy speculation.
Kareena responded with a smile and joked, “Pagal kar dete ho tumlog”, meaning “You guys drive me mad.”
Her reaction added another light-hearted moment to a story that had quickly gained traction on social media.
What is Kareena Kapoor’s next film?
Kareena Kapoor is preparing for the release of Daayra, directed by Meghna Gulzar and co-starring Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran.
The crime-drama thriller is scheduled to release in cinemas on September 18, 2026. The film explores themes of crime, justice and punishment and marks Kareena and Prithviraj’s first on-screen collaboration.
For now, the pregnancy speculation has been rejected by Kareena’s side, while the actress has chosen to respond to the episode with humour rather than a detailed public statement.
