Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 22 (ANI): Having found herself in the middle of pregnancy rumours, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan has finally cleared the air in a total Bebo style!

Resharing a hilarious meme posted by celebrity hair and makeup stylist Mitesh Rajani on her Instagram story, Kareena teased how she has grown a bump by feasting on pizza. She also added laughing emojis to the story, seemingly cracking up at the media reports about her pregnancy.

Kareena also made a public outing amid the rumours, where she was papped by the media. 'Pagal kar dete ho tumlog,' the actor sarcastically remarked, hinting at the rumours.

The speculation gained momentum after a paparazzi video showed Kareena stepping out of a gym. A team member was seen holding an umbrella to shield her from photographers, while some social media users claimed the actor appeared to have a baby bump.

Earlier in the day, Saba Pataudi firmly dismissed online speculation that her sister-in-law, actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, is expecting her third child, urging the public and paparazzi to respect the actor's privacy.

Saba subsequently addressed the speculation on her Instagram Stories, calling out the assumptions surrounding Kareena's appearance.

Sharing a picture of the actor, she wrote, 'A bad angle ... Or a bad hair day! How can everyone assume another extreme!!'

Saba also pointed to Kareena's appearance while leaving the airport just days earlier, noting that she had looked 'slick, classy, and slim', and suggested that the gym video had simply been misinterpreted.

She ended her message with a direct appeal for privacy, writing, 'Live n let live, guys. Some things are left private. No speculation needed. With love n respect.'

This is not the first time Kareena has faced pregnancy speculation. In July 2022, during a family holiday in Europe with husband Saif Ali Khan and their sons, an angled photograph led to similar claims.

Kareena responded to those rumours with humour on Instagram, writing, 'It's the pasta and wine guys...calm down...I am not pregnant.. uff..Saif says he has already contributed way too much to the population of our country...enjoy...KKK,' with laughing emoticons.

Kareena and Saif, who got married in 2012, are parents to two boys, Taimur and Jeh. (ANI)
