Taking the gossip in stride with her trademark humor, Kareena turned to the paparazzi during a recent public appearance in the city, quipping with a laugh:

— Kareena Kapoor Khan, confronting paparazzi in Mumbai
Memes, Pizza Emojis, and Witty Comebacks
To further debunk the pregnancy buzz, Kareena took to her Instagram Stories to poke fun at the narrative:
The Bloated Food-Baby Post: She shared a humorous meme featuring an exaggerated bloated stomach accompanied by the track 'Chocolate Lime Juice' from Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! alongside laughing and pizza emojis—hinting that the viral visual was nothing more than an odd camera angle or a heavy food day following her recent vacation meals.
Official Denial: A spokesperson from the actor's management team also confirmed to the press: "Kareena is not pregnant. This is not true."
Saba Pataudi Calls Out the Speculation
Saif Ali Khan’s sister, Saba Pataudi, also stepped in to call out the unnecessary intrusion into private lives:
The Instagram Story Defense: Re-sharing a screenshot from the viral clip, Saba wrote: "A bad angle... Or a bad hair day! How can everyone assume another extreme!! She walked out of an airport looking slick, classy and slim, and today out of a gym! That's it!!
I've been convincing my sister (Soha Ali Khan) to have a 2nd child... wish that was true! She'll kill me for saying it! Live n let live guys. Some things are left private. No speculation needed. With love n respect."
Trade Verdict:
Having navigated intense media scrutiny throughout her career, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s lighthearted handling of persistent internet rumors—backed by clear statements from family—has effectively put the speculation to rest as she shifts focus toward promoting her next theatrical release, Daayra.
