Sonam Kapoor, the Bollywood fashion icon, has officially announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Anand Ahuja. The actress confirmed the news on Thursday via a heartfelt Instagram post, putting an end to weeks of speculation.
In the announcement, Kapoor shared a series of stylish photos flaunting her baby bump. The images show her cradling her bump while dressed in a striking hot-pink pure wool suit. The suit, which featured oversized padded shoulders and a softly curved shoulder line, was reminiscent of iconic looks worn by Princess Diana. Kapoor captioned the post simply with one word: "MOTHER". She also disabled the comments section on her announcement post.
The announcement was styled by her sister, Rhea Kapoor, and the look was all about bold 80s glamour. Sonam effortlessly carried it off, proving why she is considered Bollywood's ultimate fashionista. Anand Ahuja celebrated the news by calling her "chic mama" and joking about "double trouble" in the comments section. On her Instagram stories, Kapoor added extra excitement, writing, "Coming spring 2026".
Rumors about Kapoor's pregnancy had been circulating since October, with reports suggesting she was already in her second trimester. Fans had been speculating for months, especially after a few recent airport and event appearances.
Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja tied the knot in May 2018 and welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Vayu, in August 2022. Since becoming a mother, Kapoor has shared glimpses of her life between India and the UK, balancing shoots, fashion events, and family time. Her last film was 'Blind' in 2023.
Prior to the announcement, Kapoor posted glamorous looks on Instagram captioned "shaadi ready," further fueling speculation. One photo featured her with Anand, and fans immediately noticed her glow.
Sonam Kapoor also recently posted an image in a custom ivory Rahul Mishra suit. She exuded grace in the traditional Indian attire while showcasing her baby bump. The anarkali kurta was paired with a dhoti-style bottom, featuring embroidery in golden thread. The embroidered dupatta elevated her look, while the Maharani necklace from the Amrapali Jewel collection added the regal touch.
With the news now public, congratulations are pouring in from all corners of Bollywood.
