Sonam Kapoor sent social media into a frenzy on Thursday after announcing her second pregnancy through a stunning photo series on Instagram. The Bollywood star and global fashion icon debuted her baby bump in an elegant maternity shoot, captioning the pictures with a simple yet powerful word: “MOTHER .” The announcement radiated grace and confidence, instantly drawing admiration from fans and industry colleagues.
For the reveal, Sonam paid homage to Princess Diana, stepping out in a vibrant hot-pink pure wool suit featuring oversized padded shoulders and a softly rounded silhouette. The look reflected several of the late royal’s most memorable ensembles, blending vintage elegance with Sonam’s signature modern flair. The bold colour palette and structured tailoring elevated the maternity shoot, reaffirming Sonam’s reputation as one of Bollywood’s strongest fashion trendsetters.
Her husband, Anand Ahuja, was among the first to respond. He playfully commented “double trouble ” on her post and followed it with another affectionate line, “Baby ma… also chicccccc mama!” His comments added a charming personal touch that fans instantly embraced.
Married since May 2018 after years of dating, Sonam and Anand welcomed their first child, Vayu, in August 2022. Since embracing motherhood, Sonam has often offered small but heartwarming glimpses into her life as a parent, striking a balance between her glamorous public image and her role at home. In August this year, she shared a loving birthday note for Vayu’s third birthday, praising his curiosity, kindness, and joyful spirit.
Professionally, Sonam made her debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya and earned acclaim for standout performances in films like Raanjhanaa and Neerja. She was last seen in the 2023 crime-thriller Blind, marking her screen comeback after a six-year break. Up next, she is set to headline Battle for Bittora, an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s novel—ushering in an exciting phase in both her personal and professional life.
