Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Kareena Kapoor's sister-in-law Saba Pataudi has shut down pregnancy rumours sparked by a video of the actor outside a gym. Saba posted on Instagram that it was a 'bad angle' and urged people not to speculate. Kareena's team had also clarified she is not expecting a third child. The Deccan Herald reported the rumour started after a gym video where an umbrella was used to shield Kareena from photographers. Hindustan Times quoted Saba saying she has been trying to convince her sister Soha Ali Khan to have a second child, not Kareena. Kareena and Saif Ali Khan have two sons, Taimur and Jehangir. Kareena was last seen in Singham Again and will next appear in Meghna Gulzar's Daayra, scheduled for release on September 18.
