Bollywood, where rumors run rampant and speculation knows no bounds. In the realm of celebrity gossip, pregnancy rumors have generated a buzz. In this captivating exploration, we delve into the lives of Bollywood’s beloved stars, separating fact from fiction and debunking the swirling whispers surrounding their alleged pregnancies. From the red carpet to social media, the public’s curiosity seems insatiable about the ongoing pregnancy rumors.
Malaika Arora
Last year, Arjun Kapoor dispelled rumours that Malaika Arora was carrying their child. He has now discussed the need for the “clickbait culture” to end.
Actor Arjun Kapoor criticised a publication and a journalist in November of last year for disseminating “gossip articles” that suggested he and Malaika Arora were expecting a child soon. The star denounced the ‘false’ report on Instagram Stories. Arjun was recently questioned about the negative media stories that keep appearing regarding the marriage. The actor claimed that the media and the prevalence of clickbait in today’s culture were both to blame.
Sharing a screenshot of the 2022 news article, Arjun had written, “This is the lowest that you could have gone and you have done it by being casual, insensitive and absolutely unethical in carrying garbage news. This journalist has been writing such pieces regularly and getting away with it because we tend to ignore these fake gossip articles while they spread across media and become the truth. This is not done. Don’t dare to play with our personal lives.”
“Clickbait culture is more about negativity… I think negativity is easier to get people to pay attention because that’s been building for a while. Listen, we are actors, our personal life is not always very private. There is a certain amount that exists and you have to be okay with it already joining the profession. There might be that element that remains, but I think we rely on you all (journalists) to reach the audience. We need you all to be at least cognizant of the fact that we are human beings. So, check with us once in a while if you’re going to write something that is very, very important. At least do that much and I think that was all that I did. It was more about that it should be checked; it should not be assumed. You should not put something that can be life-altering out there,” Arjun told reporters.
Speaking about his recent post, Arjun further said, “I did that because I trust all of you (journalists). I have never hidden, I have never held back… why do you want to put something out there that will forever remain, and that is not the truth and then I have to keep justifying myself… information for any journalist should be verified, it should not just be put our casually, especially when it comes to your personal life… we are all here to do our job, don’t make it about having fun at other people’s expense. Don’t try and make it personal, don’t become vindictive, and don’t become what you are trying to sell… don’t start believing your lies.”
Malaika was earlier married to actor-producer Arbaaz Khan. The two divorced in 2016 and co-parent their son, Arhaan Khan. Malaika and Arjun went public with their relationship in 2019 after years of dating. Wedding rumours of the two have been swirling for a while now, but neither Arjun, nor Malaika have confirmed, when or if they plan to marry.
Katrina Kaif
In December 2021, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal said “I do” in an enchanted ceremony in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Since then, the actress’s appearances at events have fueled pregnancy theories, leaving fans wondering when the couple will begin a family. Once more, rumours are swirling, but this time the actress has put an end to them by revealing her plans to have a child.
If reports are to be believed, the lovebirds will be planning their first child soon after the actress wraps up her Jee Le Zara shoot. According to reports, Katrina Kaif told her friends, “I shall plan a baby only after I finish shooting for the films- which I am doing with Vijay Sethupathi and Farhan Akhtar.”
Kareena Kapoor
A picture of Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan from their Europe vacation went viral, with reports claiming it showed the actress’ baby bump. Refuting the rumours, Kareena posted a witty note on her Instagram stories. She wrote, “It’s the pasta and wine guys…calm down…I am not pregnant.. uff.Saif says he has already contributed way too much to the population of our country…enjoy…KKK (sic).” Saif and Kareena have two sons. They welcomed their first son, Taimur Ali Khan in 2016 and their second son, Jehangir Ali Khan was born in February 2021.
Al Pacino
New reports suggest that Hollywood star Al Pacino demanded a paternity test from his 29-year-old girlfriend Noor Alfallah since he doubted her pregnancy. Pacino, 83, had cited “a medical issue that typically causes infertility” and said he didn’t believe he could get Noor pregnant.
According to reports, Noor already went through with the test, and it’s proven that the Hollywood star is indeed the father of her child, reports aceshowbiz.com. News about Noor’s pregnancy emerged in late May. She is reportedly eight months along and Pacino’s representative revealed that the twosome will be welcoming their first child together in a month.
The Godfather star, however, was actually not planning to have baby No. 4. It is also noted that it may be too soon for them as they have only been dating for a year. Pacino and Noor were first rumoured to be dating in April 2022 when they were snapped grabbing dinner together. According to Page Six, they had actually been quietly dating since the pandemic. “Pacino and Noor started seeing each other during the pandemic,” a source told the reporters
