A throwback picture of Bollywood star Alia Bhatt with her husband Ranbir Kapoor has once again gone viral online, leading to renewed speculation that the actress might be expecting her second child. In the photo, Alia is seen wearing a comfortable, loose-fitting outfit — which made several users assume she could be pregnant again.

However, social media users were quick to clarify that the viral image dates back to 2022, during Alia's actual pregnancy with her daughter, Raha Kapoor. Despite this clarification, the misinformation spread rapidly before users themselves stepped in to correct it.

The situation has sparked discussions about Alia's PR team, with many questioning their silence as the false news circulated widely. Several fans pointed out that it was ordinary users — not her professional representatives — who worked to dismiss the rumours in real time.

While Bollywood celebrities frequently deal with fake stories and intrusive gossip, fans expressed disappointment that Alia's team didn't respond promptly. Many believe that a quicker reaction could have stopped the misinformation from spreading further, suggesting that her PR handling needs improvement.

Some admirers even suggested that the actress consider overhauling her public relations team and bring in experts who can manage viral controversies more efficiently. According to them, a proactive PR approach might have avoided the unnecessary media buzz.
