Neena Gupta, the 66-year-old veteran actor, found herself at the center of viral pregnancy rumours after attending the wedding reception of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in Hyderabad. A few photos and videos from the event sparked online speculation about the actor’s appearance, with some social media users debating whether she had a baby bump. This quickly gained traction, with one post circulating a comment that questioned whether Gupta was truly pregnant at her age, further fueling the rumour mill.
In response to the widespread speculation, Neena Gupta addressed the situation with her characteristic sense of humour. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, she laughed off the claims and referenced the 2018 film Badhaai Ho, which dealt with an unexpected late pregnancy. "This is all I need, a real-life Badhaai Ho," she joked, acknowledging the unusual but amusing rumours.
Gupta clarified that the reason behind her appearance at the event was due to the thick saree material she wore, which made her look bulkier. “There is no Badhaai Ho,” she firmly stated, dismissing the pregnancy speculation. She further mentioned that rather than being upset, she found the entire situation amusing, adding, “But I must say, I love all this speculation about my pregnancy at my age. It shows we are evolving as a nation.”
The pregnancy rumours surrounding Gupta also brought attention to her personal life, which has often been the subject of media scrutiny. Known for being open about her relationship with former cricketer Viv Richards and raising her daughter, fashion designer Masaba Gupta, as a single mother, Gupta has never shied away from discussing her life choices. Her candidness has resonated with audiences over the years, and even today, her personal and professional journey continues to captivate attention.
The latest speculation has only brought Gupta back into the limelight, reminding fans of her remarkable career and her fearless approach to personal and professional challenges. As social media discussions around the pregnancy rumour continued, many revisited her past, reflecting on the actor’s impact on the industry and her unflinching honesty in navigating life’s challenges.
