Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor recently made her first public appearance amid rumours of her second pregnancy with husband Anand Ahuja. The speculation grew during her October 2, 2025, outing to cousin Anshula Kapoor’s engagement ceremony. Fans and media closely observed Sonam’s gestures and attire, which many interpreted as signs of expecting a second child. The Kapoor family is celebrating Anshula’s new journey in life, and Sonam’s upcoming addition promises to double their joy. Her presence at the engagement, combined with these subtle cues, fueled discussions online and among attendees, making the pregnancy rumours even more convincing.
Sonam Kapoor Skips Paparazzi at Anshula Kapoor’s Engagement Bash
In videos that went viral on Filmfare and other Indian media, Sonam Kapoor was seen skipping the paparazzi at Anshula Kapoor and Rohan Thakkar’s engagement. Known for striking poses in her designer outfits, Sonam surprised fans by arriving alone and walking straight into the venue without stopping for photos. Her low-key entry fueled speculation that the Neerja star might be expecting her second child and is keeping it private for now.
Onlookers noticed that when photographers tried to get Sonam’s attention for pictures, she didn’t respond. One of her staff members was reportedly seen signaling the paparazzi to back off and stop taking photos. This fueled speculation among fans that Sonam might indeed be expecting her second child. The incident came just days after she shared Instagram photos in loose, baggy outfits, a departure from her usual fitted looks, making fans believe she’s preparing to welcome motherhood again.
Sonam Kapoor Stuns in Indo-Western Outfits, Fuels Pregnancy Rumours
Sonam Kapoor looked stunning in a mustard-colored top paired with an ankle-length skirt and a matching blazer, her hair styled in a sleek bun. The outfit was a custom creation by Siddhartha Bansal from his latest AW25 collection, drawing inspiration from vintage Indian silhouettes, Chintz, Jharokha, and Batuas. She accessorised the Indo-Western ensemble with delicate anklets and a metallic elephant-shaped bag, while maroon belles and layered neckpieces added extra charm. Though the outfit didn’t reveal a baby bump, fans admired her radiant, maternal glow in the shared photos and videos. Sonam also posted pictures of herself wearing the look, captioning them as: “Ready for my @anshulakapoor [ring emoji] let the celebrations begin! It’s all in the details!”
Sonam Kapoor: When Did Rumours of Her Second Pregnancy Begin?
Speculations about Sonam Kapoor expecting her second child started around September 2025, when she shared a photo in a white gown, gently resting her hands on her belly, partly hidden by an oversized white shrug. While some fans thought it was just a stylish pose, others suspected she was hiding a baby bump. Since then, her posts have mostly featured jackets or loose clothing. Recently, a source close to Sonam confirmed to Pinkvilla that she is in her second trimester.
If reports are true, Sonam Kapoor and her husband Anand Ahuja are set to welcome their second child, three years after their first, Vayu. Born on August 20, 2022, Vayu has largely been kept away from the media, with only a partial glimpse shared in May 2025. Since becoming a mother, Sonam has focused on raising her son, and if the news of her second pregnancy is confirmed, it could further postpone her return to the film industry.
