For the last couple of weeks there had been buzz about Mira being pregnant.
The star wife was spotted with what looked like a baby bump at designer Masaba Gupta's show at a recent fashion event.
Masaba had later given a hint on Twitter while posting a snapshot of Mira and her from the fashion show.
