This joyful update comes after weeks of speculation. Rumors about Katrina’s pregnancy began circulating in late July when a video of the couple at a ferry port in Mumbai went viral. Fans spotted Katrina wearing loose clothing and strolling cautiously, which triggered online conversations. The frenzy grew in early August when news surfaced that the couple would be expecting their first child later this year. Sources close to the couple claim Katrina is currently in her third trimester and is expected to give birth sometime between mid-October and late October. While neither Katrina nor Vicky has confirmed these details, those close to them say the couple has chosen to keep things private and may share further updates only after the baby arrives.

In recent weeks, Katrina has stayed away from public events, and her decision not to take on any new film projects since Merry Christmas (2024) only added to the speculation. Vicky, meanwhile, has been seen attending events alone, further fueling curiosity. On September 22, Katrina’s siblings, Isabelle Kaif and their elder brother, were spotted in Mumbai, hinting that preparations may already be underway for the baby’s arrival. Vicky Kaushal is presently filming Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, which also stars Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. Despite their hectic schedules, the couple seemed to be focused on enjoying this new and exciting chapter of their lives.
