Rumours of the couple’s pregnancy flooded online after Deepika’s appearance at the 2024 BAFTA Awards in London. The 38-year-old actress who appeared at the awards for the first time looked ravishingly beautiful in a shimmery saree, embellished with sequins. As photos and videos of her graceful appearance emerged online, speculations of her pregnancy took over social media. Despite her efforts to conceal the bump, sharp-eyed netizens had already deduced that their favourite actress was a soon-to-be mother.

“I’m convinced she’s expecting, that bump is unmistakable, and her hand placement confirms it all,” said a fan on social media. Another stated, “I strongly believe she may be pregnant. If so, congratulations; if not, my apologies. She’s clutching onto that pallu, whereas she’s usually quite open with her body language.”
