At designer Vikram Phadnis’ grand 35th anniversary showcase, Sonakshi Sinha turned heads in a striking red floral Anarkali.
While walking the ramp with husband Zaheer Iqbal, fans noticed how she gently covered her midriff in some photos—which immediately sparked pregnancy speculation across social media.
Sonakshi’s graceful presence in the anarkali—accented by bold earrings and a sheer red dupatta—added fuel to the rumors. As netizens dissected her poses, many pointed to her subtle gestures of concealing her stomach as confirmation. Yet, neither Sonakshi, Zaheer, nor anyone close to them has publicly confirmed any reports of pregnancy.
The speculation follows a recurring theme: earlier in 2025, Sonakshi addressed similar rumors humorously, attributing sudden weight changes to loving husbandly feeding. Despite the buzz, she has made it clear that she has “found a way of shutting out the noise” when it comes to intrusive speculation about her personal life.
Sonakshi and Zaheer dated privately for around seven years before deciding to marry. The couple officially tied the knot on June 23, 2024, in an intimate civil ceremony in Mumbai, followed by a reception attended by close friends and family. Their wedding date also held sentimental value — it matched the date they first met and began their journey together.
Amid the fashion spectacle, what began as a celebration of Vikram Phadnis’s legacy turned into trending topics about motherhood and public scrutiny. The whole incident underscores the double-edged nature of celebrity — how even a style statement or comforting gesture can ripple into global conversation.
