Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma and Indian cricketer Virat Kohli got married in what can be termed as the 'wedding of the year' in December 2017. The marriage was the most talked about subject on social media and everywhere else for a long time. The couple was back in town after a short honeymoon and returned to their lives, but not everyone seemed to have moved on.

Three months down the wedding, speculations were rife of Anushka being pregnant. At multiple instances, social media users have themselves confirmed of her pregnancy. While the celebrity couple never reacted to the rumours, a leading Hindi daily thinks the couple are expecting a child.

The report also went on to say that a baby boy (Junior Kohli) was on way! The article's caption on Twitter wrote in Hindi read, "Kohli like ghar jald ghoonjegi nanhi kilkariyaan, aane wala hai Chota Virat". The title soon caught social media's attention and heavy backlash followed. Twitterati ridiculed the daily asking how they knew the gender of the child already.

Here is the tweet going viral:

Here is how Twitterati responded:

With neither of the couple confirming about pregnancy, the report received was widely criticised for jumping into conclusion.

Hahaha, ultrasound printing machines?

And to be reminded that sex-determination test is illegal in India.

Last week, Anushka Sharma wrapped shooting for her upcoming movie alongside Varun Dhawan, Sui Dhaaga. Anushka had accompanied Kohli on the tour to South Africa where Team India played 3 Tests, 6 ODIs & 3 T20Is in January and February. Zero with Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif is also in pipeline. She was last seen in Pari. In the ongoing India Premier League (IPL), MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) smashed Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by six wickets in Pune on Saturday.
