Sobhita Dhulipala looking stylish, not expecting
Though there's been no official confirmation, reports have suggested that an announcement could be on the horizon. However, those close to the couple have offered a different take. A family insider humorously dismissed the rumours, clarifying that there's no baby on the way. 'She wore anti-fit, not maternity,' the source quipped, adding that the actress' style has simply evolved.
'It's amazing how a change in silhouette can birth a whole new storyline,' the insider joked, hinting at the over-analysis celebrities often face. So far, neither Sobhita nor the Akkineni family has commented publicly on the matter.
