Pregnancy rumours left Neena Gupta annoyed

Earlier this year, Neena attended Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s wedding reception in Hyderabad. Photos and videos from the event led some social media users to speculate that she was pregnant after a slight bulge appeared around her stomach.

Neena explained that she was wearing a saree made from thick fabric, and the pleat had fallen in a way that created the appearance of a bulge. She said she became annoyed by the speculation and eventually began jokingly telling people that she was pregnant.
