Veteran actress Poonam Sinha has finally broken her silence regarding the persistent pregnancy rumours surrounding her daughter, Sonakshi Sinha.
During a recent interaction, Poonam addressed the “constant chatter” with a mix of maternal warmth and sharp wit, laughing off the media’s obsession with her becoming a grandmother.
“I don’t know how many times [the media] has already made me a grandmother (nani),” Poonam joked during the event. While dismissing the current speculation, she added a touch of sentiment, noting, “That joy will come to us; we will definitely receive that happiness one day.” She further reflected on the blessing of having daughters, describing the moment Sonakshi was born as the “best moment” of her life.
A “16-Month” Pregnancy?
The rumours first ignited in late 2025 after Sonakshi appeared in a red outfit at a public event. Social media users claimed she was “hiding a baby bump,” prompting a hilarious debunking from the actress herself.
- The Wit: Sonakshi took to Instagram to mock the reports, crowning herself the “world record holder for the longest pregnancy in human history” at 16 months and counting.
- The Husband’s Take: Zaheer Iqbal also joined the fun during a Diwali bash, playfully telling Sonakshi to walk “carefully” (sambhaal ke) in front of paparazzi to tease the tabloid frenzy.
Timeline of the “Sona-Zaheer” Romance
The couple, who tied the knot in an intimate civil ceremony in 2024, share a long history that predates the headlines:
- 2013: First met at a party hosted by Salman Khan.
- 2017: Reconnected at the Tubelight after-party, leading to a seven-year relationship.
- Present: The duo remains one of Bollywood’s most light-hearted couples, frequently using social media to shut down misinformation with humor rather than hostility.
