In a severe breach of privacy, private photos of actress Katrina Kaif, visibly pregnant, were secretly clicked on her home balcony and published by a media portal, drawing widespread condemnation from fans and fellow celebrity Sonakshi Sinha.
October 31, 2025: A massive public outcry erupted on Friday after private images of expectant mother and Bollywood star Katrina Kaif were leaked online, severely compromising her personal space. The photos, which showed the actress relaxing on her home balcony in Mumbai with her baby bump visible, were reportedly taken from afar without her consent.
The pictures were initially posted by a media portal, Zoom TV, on their Instagram handle, but were subsequently deleted following an immediate and furious backlash from fans who demanded accountability for the egregious invasion of privacy.
Fans and Celebrities Demand Action
The leaked images quickly circulated on social media platforms like Reddit, where fans expressed their anger, calling the act “disgusting” and “shameful.” Many users drew parallels to past incidents of media intrusion, stressing that secretly photographing a woman inside her own home is a criminal act and not permissible under the guise of reporting.
- One fan commented, “Disgusting act by Zoom!! They need to face some sort of legal action. Getting papped publicly when one is aware and getting STALKED in their own home is different and it is disgraceful.”
- Another user wrote, “Omg, how disgusting are these paps!! a woman can’t step outside in her own balcony for some breath of fresh air. Idiots kahen ke.”
Adding a prominent voice to the condemnation, actress Sonakshi Sinha publicly slammed the media outlet. Sonakshi commented directly, “What is wrong with you’ll????? Photographing a woman in her own home without consent and publishing it on a public platform???? You’ll are nothing less than criminals. Shameful.”
Katrina Kaif and her husband, actor Vicky Kaushal, announced their first pregnancy with a heartfelt post on social media in September 2025 and have since kept a low profile as the actress’s delivery date approaches. This incident has reignited serious debate over media ethics and the boundaries of celebrity privacy in India.
