On Monday, the Gangubai Kathiawadi actor announced her pregnancy
Ranbir Kapoor with wife Alia Bhatt
Mama mia! Barely two-and-a-half months since Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot, the couple is in the family way. The Gangubai Kathiawadi actor announced the news on social media on Monday morning. Along with a picture of them, from what seems to be a hospital, “Our baby… coming soon.” Not surprisingly, the couple was flooded with congratulatory messages from their friends in the industry and outside. Naani-to-be Soni Razdan commented, “Congratulations Mama and Papa Lion,” in keeping with Alia’s picture of a lion and a lioness with their cub, while Karisma Kapoor wrote, “Awwww! Can’t wait. Congratulations to you both.” Priyanka Chopra Jonas liked the post, saying, “Congratulations honey!! Yaaaay! Can’t wait.” It seems the couple had already planned to have a baby soon. Ranbir and Alia, who had been in a relationship for five years, had planned to get married in 2019, and had to defer their plans twice before they finally took the pheras on April 14 this year. Our congratulations to the couple.

Vaani’s new doppelganger confusion
Going by her career graph, it looks like Vaani Kapoor believes in doing one film at a time. The actor, who is gearing up for her upcoming release, Shamshera, has finalised her next movie. This time around, it is a social comedy titled Sarvagunn Sampanna. What makes it interesting is that Vaani plays a lookalike of an adult star, and this confusion sets the comedy of errors into motion. Going by the plotline, it seems the actor will play a double role for the first time in her career. Directed by Shonali Rattan-Deshmukh, Dinesh Vijan’s production venture is slated to go on floors this August.
Akshay’s adaptation idea
