Bollywood actor-director Farhan Akhtar and actor-host Shibani Dandekar tied the knot on Saturday in an intimate ceremony in Khandala. Several photos of the newlyweds surfaced on social media showing Shibani wearing a red fishtail gown and Farhan in a black suit. As soon as the photos emerged online, congratulatory messages started pouring in for the newlyweds.
However, a section of the internet wondered if Shibani was pregnant as they spotted a baby bump in the first pictures of newlyweds. A user wrote, “Is she pregnant?” While another one commented, “She is expecting a baby.” Meanwhile, Farhan and Shibani’s fans were elated to see the couple’s wedding photos and showered them with love.
