Kareena Kapoor Khan has seemingly put an end to recent pregnancy speculation with a tongue-in-cheek social media post. The rumours began on August 21 after a video of the actress leaving a gym in Mumbai surfaced online, prompting some social media users to speculate that she was expecting her third child after claiming to notice a baby bump.Kareena’s team and her sister-in-law Saba Pataudi were quick to dismiss the claims. Now, the actress herself appears to have joined in on the joke.Kareena recently shared an amusing picture on her Instagram Stories featuring a man showing off a visibly bloated stomach. The post played the song “Chocolate Lime Juice” from Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! in the background and was accompanied by laughing and pizza emojis. Her choice of post appeared to suggest that what some had interpreted as a baby bump may simply have been a “food baby.”The actress also stepped out in Mumbai today for the first time since the pregnancy speculation began. Dressed in a yellow shirt paired with black trousers, Kareena looked stylish as she made her way out of a venue. As photographers surrounded her, she was heard jokingly saying, “Pagal kar dete ho tumlog,” seemingly in response to the frenzy over the rumours.Meanwhile, Saba Pataudi had already addressed the speculation on social media, urging people not to jump to conclusions based on photographs or videos.“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.”Kareena and Saif Ali Khan are already parents to sons Taimur and Jehangir. Saba’s candid message appeared to make it clear that there was no truth to the latest pregnancy buzz, while also highlighting the family’s desire for greater privacy.On the professional front, Kareena is gearing up for her next release, Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra. The film features Prithviraj Sukumaran in a key role and is scheduled to hit theatres on September 18.
