A source close to the actress has confirmed that the rumors about Devoleena expecting a baby are true, and she is in the early stages of pregnancy. However, the actress does not intend to disclose this information publicly anytime soon due to personal reasons.

“She is [pregnant], but she does not want to announce it as of now.

Reports of Devoleena’s pregnancy made headlines last month when fans noticed her baby bump in one of her social media posts. However, in interviews, the actress neither confirmed nor denied the rumors.

“I get irritated when I get messages or calls asking about rumors. If it is my personal life, I’ll tell you whenever I feel like it. Don’t bother me or don’t worry about it. Everything has the right time. There are so many rumors about me which I laugh at. I was shocked. There’s nothing one can do about it,” she told News18.

Devoleena, currently starring in Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, married her beau Shanawaz Shaikh in December 2022. The couple had a court wedding in Lonavala, attended only by close friends. Despite facing immense backlash and trolling for her decision to marry someone from a different faith, Devoleena has consistently responded to the critics with strong, fitting replies.
