Veteran Bollywood actress Neena Gupta is currently making headlines due to a bizarre rumor circulating on social media. Recently, reports began going viral on the internet suggesting that Neena Gupta, at the age of 66, is pregnant. However, the actress herself has now stepped forward to categorically refute these reports.

The rumor began when Neena Gupta was spotted at a grand wedding reception in Hyderabad. Photos and videos from the event quickly went viral across social media platforms. Upon observing her midsection in the photographs, some people speculated that she was pregnant and almost instantly, the news spread like wildfire.

Reacting to these speculations, Neena Gupta humorously remarked, "That was the only thing left to happen—Badhaai Ho (Congratulations) in real life!" She clarified that she is, in fact, not pregnant. According to the actress, the fabric of the saree she wore that day was slightly thick, which created the optical illusion seen in the photographs. Neena Gupta further added that she finds such speculations amusing and feels good knowing that people are still entertaining such thoughts about her at this age.

It is worth noting that in the film Badhaai Ho, she portrayed the character of an older woman who unexpectedly becomes pregnant. Perhaps this is why people on social media began drawing parallels between the rumor and the film. Following the actress's statement, it is now clear that this entire story was nothing more than a baseless rumor.
