Priyanka Chopra Jonas set tongues wagging when she attended the recent New York Fashion Week. Dressed in checkered separates from designer Michael Kors' line, Chopra — otherwise envied for her washboard abs — appeared to flaunt a belly bulge. It took only a few pictures from the gala for fans worldwide to start speculating if the actor and husband Nick Jonas were in the family way.

The actor's mother, Madhu Chopra, who is currently promoting their next production, Firebrand, doesn't understand the hullabaloo around the pictures. "It was a bad angle," she asserts, dismissing rumours of pregnancy. While some fans wondered if the bulge was simply a case of an ill-fitted skirt, Madhu says, "The outfit was nice. She looked like that only in some pictures, the rest were fine. Blame it on the camera angle!"
