Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor has laughed off pregnancy rumours after a video of her leaving a gym went viral, with some social media users speculating that she was sporting a baby bump.

On Saturday, Kareena took to Instagram and shared a picture of a man flaunting his bloated stomach, accompanied by the song Chocolate Lime Juice from Hum Aapke Hain Koun. She added laughing and pizza emojis to the post, seemingly hinting that the apparent bump in her viral video was simply the result of indulging in too much food.
She was also recently spotted in the town looking chic in a yellow shirt and black trousers. The actor completed her look by tying her hair in a bun. Her appearance shut down all the ongoing speculations.
Earlier, Saba Pataudi had dismissed the pregnancy rumours, attributing them to a bad camera angle. She wrote, “A bad angle … Or a bad hair day! How can everyone assume another extreme!! She walked out of an airport looking slick, classy and slim, and today out of a gym! That’s it!! I’ve been convincing my sister to have a 2nd child … wish that was true! She’ll kill me for saying it! Live n let live guys. Some things are left private. No speculation needed. With love n respect.”
Recently, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena, along with their sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan, went on a family holiday to celebrate Saif’s birthday. Kareena later shared pictures from the trip on social media, giving fans a glimpse of their dinner dates and indulgent meals, including pasta and pizza.
