Meghan Markle's viral baby bump clip triggers conspiracy theories: 'It's a moonbump'

Time of India14 hours ago

Just when you thought royal drama had simmered down, Meghan Markle broke the internet again, and no, it is not because of a scandalous Netflix deal or a new podcast drop. This time, it is her pregnant twerking video that has conspiracy theorists foaming at the mouth.
A throwback that broke the internet
To celebrate her daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday, the Duchess of Sussex posted a throwback video that was supposed to be heartwarming. Spoiler alert: it turned into a full-blown online spectacle. The clip features Meghan, nine months pregnant, dancing her heart out in a hospital room to Starrkeisha's 'Baby Mama.' Prince Harry even makes a cameo before she breaks into some joyful twerking, all while heavily pregnant.
The fakest bump I've ever seen in my life https://t.co/gevbY6hHVd
Seems wholesome, right? Not to the trolls of the internet.
Moonbump conspiracies take over social media
Conspiracy theorists on X (formerly known as Twitter, but still just as chaotic) wasted zero time. They dove in headfirst, accusing Meghan of faking her pregnancy again — with one term trending harder than ever: moonbump. According to some very loud keyboard warriors, her bump was 'too high,' 'too firm,' or just moved 'weird.' Others screamed 'AI-generated!' or claimed the hospital looked like a set built for a Lifetime movie.
Markle's bump is 100% fake though -- she's mocking women in labour and taunting the Royal Family with her fraudulent children.
Nurses, IV drips, and internet investigators
One self-identified nurse went viral claiming Meghan should have had a cannula or IV drip if she was really in labour. Another claimed her ability to dance at full-term was 'superhuman,' clearly forgetting that Meghan was not strapped to a bed but literally just vibing.
Screenshots flew. Zoomed-in freeze frames appeared with childish annotations. Someone even tried to point out inconsistencies based on her jewellery and lack of medical equipment. Because obviously, nothing screams 'conspiracy confirmed' like earrings in a maternity ward.
Sweet family moments amidst the madness
Still, Meghan stayed cool. Alongside the video, she dropped unseen photos of Harry and baby Lilibet, including a barefoot beach stroll and a sweet newborn cuddle. She called the duo the 'sweetest bond' and described her daughter as Harry's 'favourite adventurer.'
Even while the name Lilibet still stirs royal tension, with some reports claiming the late Queen was less than thrilled, Meghan is clearly unbothered. She is busy harvesting honey with her daughter and planning potential future businesses together.
The internet might be spiralling, but Meghan Markle? She is still out here dancing, glowing, and telling her own story, moonbump or not.

India's highest-paid OTT actor earned ₹125 crore for 7 episodes, more than Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan's salary

Streaming platforms are undeniably reshaping the definition of stardom. Gone are the days when people thought OTT was for unconventional actors. In fact, this A-list Bollywood actor has broken all boundaries, outshining Bollywood biggies like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Earning a staggering ₹ 125 crore for a single show, he's the highest-paid actor on OTT with a net worth of ₹ 427 crore (approximately $50 million USD), as per multiple reports. Ajay became the highest-paid OTT actor in 2021 when he signed for the Hindi adaptation of the hit British series, Luther, Rudra: Edge of Darkness. Starring as the cop with a dark history, he reportedly charged more than ₹ 100 crore for the seven-episode show. As per a report of Bollywood Hungama, Ajay was paid almost ₹ 18 crore per episode of the show. In total, he took home ₹ 125 crore and became the highest-paid actor in Indian entertainment history. His salary beats big players like Shah Rukh Khan who reportedly charged between ₹ 90 and ₹ 100 crore for his films Raees and Zero. Salman Khan is believed to charge a similar amount for his film, Bharat. Around the same time, Salman reportedly received a payment of approximately ₹ 50 crore for his 2021 film Antim: The Final Truth. He is likely to earn a little more for his film Radhe which was also released in the same year. Besides them, Saif Ali Khan who became the first superstar of Bollywood to foray into OTT with Netflix's Sacred Games, charged way less than Ajay. He was reportedly paid ₹ 15-20 for the latest, Sacred Games season 2. Even, Varun Dhawan earned between ₹ 12-15 crore for Citadel: Honey Bunny, reported Hindustan Times. As per a report of GQ, other promiment OTT stars such as Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have received payments between ₹ 5-10 crore for their OTT shows. Jaideep Ahlawat reportedly received ₹ 20 crore as his salary for Patal Lok Season 2. Ajay was last seen in Raid 2. He has several projects in the pipeline, including Son of Sardaar 2, De De Pyaar De 2 and Dhamaal 4. However, all of these will see a theatrical release.

'Oldboy' star Choi Min-sik returns to TV in Netflix drama ‘Noted from the Last Row'

Veteran actor Choi Min-sik, best known for his unforgettable roles in 'Oldboy,' 'I Saw The Devil,' 'Lucy,' and more recently 'Exhuma', is set to return to the small screen in Netflix's upcoming Korean drama 'Noted from the Last Row'. The series will mark another major project for the acclaimed actor, bringing his talents back to television after a focus on film in recent years. In this new series, Choi will play Heo Moon-oh, a once-promising writer who failed to live up to expectations and now teaches literature. His life takes a strange turn when he becomes deeply fascinated by the writing of a quiet student, Lee Kang, who always sits in the last row of his classroom. Choi Hyun-wook (best known from 'DP', 'Twinkling Watermelon') will play Lee Kang, while Huh Joon-ho ('Bloodhounds', 'Mercy For None') takes on the role of Moon-oh's friend, Kim Su-hun — a successful writer. Kim Yun-jin, well known to global audiences from the American series 'Lost', will portray Ahn Eun-joo, Su-hun's wife. Jin Kyung ('Dr Romantic') joins the cast as Jo Hyeon-suk, Moon-oh's wife and psychologist. 'Noted from the Last Row' is based on the Spanish play by Juan Mayorga, which was previously adapted into the French film 'In the House' by François Ozon. The Korean adaptation is being helmed by director Kim Gyu-tae ('Our Blues', 'The Trunk') and written by Jang Myung-woo ('My Mother, the Mermaid'). The series promises a layered story about obsession, genius, and ambition — all told through the lens of Choi Min-sik's powerful performance.

"Looking so good": SRK showers love on daughter Suhana as she shares her new pictures

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 7 (ANI): Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is not an avid social media user, but whenever he posts something on Instagram or X, his digital activity gets viral in no time. On Saturday, his comment under the latest Instagram post of his daughter Suhana Khan caught the attention of his eagle-eyed fans. Adidas India and Suhana shared a couple of pictures as a collaborative post. The post features Suhana flaunting flexible moves in athleisure wear. Reacting to Suhana's images, SRK commented, 'Looking so good!!' Suhana made her acting debut with Netflix's film 'The Archies' in 2023. It was directed by Zoya Akhtar. If reports are to be believed, Suhana will next be seen in 'King' with her dad Shah Rukh Khan. 'King' was supposed to be directed by Sujoy Ghosh earlier. However, Siddharth Anand, who directed SRK in 'Pathaan', later took over as the director. A few months ago, at an event in Dubai, SRK opened up about King, saying, 'I'm not just shooting it here, I'm shooting it in Mumbai now when I go back in a couple of months. My director, who is Sidharth Anand, is very strict. He made Pathaan. So he is very strict. He said, 'Don't tell people about the film, what you are doing in it.' So I can't tell you but I can assure you it will entertain you, you will have fun. I've used many we have run out of Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan in King. That was a bit of a show-off.' The film went on floors in Mumbai recently. Reportedly, Abhishek Bachchan has a key role in 'King'. (ANI)
