Poonam Sinha Addresses Sonakshi Sinha Pregnancy Speculation at Mumbai Event, Says "How Many Times Will You Make Me a Grandma?"
"How Many Times Will You Make Me a Grandmother?"
The Sinha family is back in the headlines-this time for a much more lighthearted reason. Poonam Sinha, veteran actress and mother to Sonakshi Sinha, recently delivered a masterclass in handling persistent celebrity rumors with a single, witty remark.
At a high-profile Mumbai event on April 5, 2026, Poonam Sinha was asked about the recurring pregnancy rumors surrounding her daughter, Sonakshi, and son-in-law, Zaheer Iqbal. Rather than showing frustration, Poonam laughed off the speculation with a sharp comeback:
"I don't know how many times they've already made me a grandmother. But that happiness will come to us too, and it definitely will."
The veteran actress also took a moment to reflect on the joy of daughters, calling the birth of Sonakshi and her siblings the "most beautiful moment" of her life, and adding that "life is nothing without daughters."
The Background: A "16-Month" Record
The rumors aren't new. In late 2025, after Sonakshi appeared at a Diwali bash in a vibrant red ensemble, social media sleuths claimed she was "hiding a baby bump." Sonakshi herself had famously shut down those claims with an Instagram post that went viral:
The Sarcastic Record: She jokingly claimed to be the "World record holder for the longest pregnancy in human history-16 months and counting."
The Cause: She noted the rumors started simply because she posed with her hand near her midsection.
Zaheer’s Take: Her husband, Zaheer Iqbal, joined the fun during the same event, jokingly telling paparazzi to "be careful" (sambhaal ke) as they walked, leaning into the absurdity of the gossip.
Where Are They Now?
Sonakshi and Zaheer, who married in June 2024 after seven years of dating, have spent the early part of 2026 staying busy:
New Year's in the Maldives: The couple kicked off the year with a luxury getaway.
Career Moves: Sonakshi recently made her Telugu debut as the antagonist in the horror-action film Jatadhara, which has been a significant departure from her usual roles.
The Bottom Line: While the media remains on "bump watch," the Sinha family clearly prefers to handle the spotlight with a healthy dose of humor. For now, Poonam Sinha is perfectly happy being a mother, even if the internet is in a hurry to promote her to grandmother.
