# Kareena Kapoor pregnancy rumours denied by source close to actor

2026-08-22T02:41:41+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk

Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan is facing pregnancy rumours again after a paparazzi video showed her walking to her car in an all-black outfit while a team member held an umbrella in front of her. Social media users speculated she was expecting a third child with husband Saif Ali Khan. The couple already have two sons, Taimur and Jeh. A report citing an unnamed source close to Kareena has dismissed the chatter, stating she is not pregnant. Neither Kareena nor Saif has personally addressed the latest speculation. Similar rumours in 2022 were denied by Kareena with humour, blaming pasta and wine.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Siasat.com leads with the denial, framing the speculation as baseless, while Hindustan Times leads with fan excitement and the viral video, treating the denial as secondary. Both outlets rely on an unnamed source and include the 2022 denial. Neither outlet provides independent verification. The measured read: the story remains social media speculation with no official confirmation either way, and the only sourced statement is a denial.
