Neena Gupta reacted to pregnancy rumors
While chatting with the media outlet Bollywood Hungama, actress Neena Gupta dismissed the rumors in a witty manner, saying,
There is no Badhaai Ho. I am not pregnant. The truth is that the saree material was thick, which made me look bulky at the event. But I must say, I love all this speculation about my pregnancy at my age. It shows we are evolving as a nation.
Her response quickly caught the attention of many on the Internet, with people praising the veteran actor for her sense of humor instead of annoyance. Gupta’s sense of humor also reminded people of the movie that had originally led to the rumors in the first place.

The movie had been a huge success commercially as well as critically.
Though the rumor on the Internet may have been short-lived, Gupta’s sense of humor has again proved that she is one of the most candid actors in the Indian film industry.
