Is Sonakshi Sinha pregnant? Actress fuels rumours by covering her belly while posing with husband Zaheer Iqbal at Vikram Phadnis' event

Bollywood’s rumour mills went into overdrive after Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal stepped out at a high-profile event in Mumbai on Tuesday, October 14. The couple arrived in elegant traditional attire — Sonakshi in a red-and-white Anarkali with floral embroidery and matching dupatta, Zaheer in a classic black sherwani — and posed graciously for photographers. But it wasn’t just their style that caught attention. Soon, speculation spread that Sonakshi might be expecting.

Videos and stills from the event went viral. What fueled the buzz: some fans believed Sonakshi’s “glow” was unmistakable; others pointed out that she appeared to subtly shield her midriff with her hand while posing.

In comment sections across social media, viewers didn’t hold back. “Baby on the way,” wrote one. “She is glowing … she is definitely pregnant,” chimed another. “She looks pregnant,” read yet another.

As of now, neither Sonakshi nor Zaheer have publicly addressed the rumors. Some observers have argued that such speculation is nothing new — Sonakshi has faced persistent pregnancy rumours ever since marrying Zaheer.

Earlier this year, she playfully pushed back on such assumptions. She shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp exchange with Zaheer, in which he jokingly asked her if she was hungry. She replied, “Not at all, stop feeding me,” and later quipped in her story, “The reason why everyone thinks I’m preggos (pregnant). Stop it @iamzahero.” She has also been vocal about defending her privacy and right to live life on her own terms, especially in the face of public scrutiny.

For context: Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal married in a civil ceremony on June 23, 2024, in Mumbai, surrounded by family and close friends. A grand reception followed. Since then, they’ve often shared glimpses of their relationship — from lighthearted banter to romantic moments — on social media.

What this really means is: in the absence of confirmation, we are left with rumors, interpretations, and hopes. Public figures often live in a zone where personal life becomes public speculation. Whether or not there’s a baby on the way remains to be seen.
