Sonakshi Sinha Slams Paps As Katrina's Pregnancy Pics From Her Balcony Go Viral

Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal recently confirmed that they are expecting their first child, sharing the happy news through a heartfelt social media announcement.

Known for guarding their personal life closely, the couple has chosen to stay away from public appearances as they prepare for parenthood. Katrina, whose due date is reportedly approaching, has been spending most of her time at home in Mumbai surrounded by family.

However, on Tuesday, a media portal published leaked photos of the pregnant actor sitting on her private balcony. The images, clearly taken without consent, spread rapidly across social media. While Katrina and Vicky have maintained their silence so far, fans were quick to condemn the invasion of privacy.

The pictures, which visibly showed Katrina’s baby bump, triggered widespread outrage. One user wrote,

“Where’s the privacy? It’s her home — why take pictures without permission?” Another pointed out, “This is a clear breach of privacy. We shouldn’t disturb them during such a personal phase.” A third person demanded legal action: “This is a crime! The photographer should be punished for invading someone’s privacy.”

Many social media users also urged the page to take down the photos immediately.

Actor Sonakshi Sinha has also stepped forward to condemn the incident, calling out the media portal for its intrusive and unethical behaviour. Shocked by the leaked photos, Sonakshi publicly slammed the publication in the comments section, writing, “What is wrong with you’ll????? Photographing a woman in her own home without consent and publishing it on a public platform???? You’ll are nothing less than criminals. Shameful.”

The incident has once again reignited the debate around unauthorised paparazzi behaviour and the responsibility of media outlets when covering the personal lives of celebrities, especially during sensitive life moments such as pregnancy.

Before this, Alia Bhatt’s pictures had also leaked on social media when she was pregnant with Raha.

Alia had called out the media house, stating ‘invasion of privacy’.
