A recent photograph of Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has gone viral on social media platforms where netizens are claiming that she is pregnant. The pregnancy chatter started after she was spotted visiting south Indian actor R Sarathkumar’s daughter, actor Varalaxmi on July 25.
Husband Abhishek Bachchan and their daughter Aaradhya were also present at the meeting. They have been away from the media for a long time which put more fuel into the fire of this gossip.
Varalaxmi shared pictures with the trio on her verified Instagram profile. Her caption read: “Met 3 of the warmest and most humble people last night.. none other than the gorgeous @aishwaryaraibachchan_arb the handsome hunk @bachchan and their sweetest daughter #aaradhyabachchan.”
In the post, Varalaxmi praised Bachchans for their humble attitude while thanking her father for making her dream come true.
As the pictures surfaced online, fans could not help but think that Aishwarya might be pregnant. The speculation started around her alleged pregnancy because most of her recent pictures online featured her covering her belly.
Meanwhile, netizens have been sharing these photos claiming she might be sporting a baby bump.
The Bachchan family have never confirmed any of these rumours but fans are still congratulating the Bollywood superstar couple as they were convinced a new member of their family is coming soon.
Major Indian media outlets are covering the story but still has no confirmation quotes.
Amid this situation, there were other fans who slammed the news and suggested she might have just gained some weight. They also condemned the unnecessary body scrutiny of a female celebrity.
