Following the announcement of Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal's pregnancy, a fabricated image circulated on social media, falsely suggesting that Salman Khan had congratulated the couple on Instagram. The viral image, which appeared to show Salman Khan sharing Katrina and Vicky's pregnancy announcement photo with a congratulatory message, was quickly debunked as an AI-generated prank.

Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal officially announced they are expecting their first child on Tuesday, September 23, 2025. The couple shared the news on Instagram, posting a picture of themselves with Katrina's baby bump and a heartfelt caption expressing their joy and gratitude as they embark on this new chapter. The announcement was met with an outpouring of love and congratulatory messages from fans, friends, and industry colleagues.

Amidst the widespread celebration, an AI-generated image surfaced, purporting to show Salman Khan reposting Katrina and Vicky's announcement on his Instagram account. The image quickly gained traction, fueled by the history between Salman and Katrina, who were in a relationship for several years. Their past relationship and continued friendship have kept them in the public eye, leading many to speculate about Salman's reaction to the pregnancy news.

However, it was soon confirmed that Salman Khan did not share any such post on his official social media accounts. The viral image was created by a user on X (formerly Twitter) as a prank, and it was widely circulated without verification. Many fans who saw the image visited Salman's Instagram profile seeking confirmation but found no such post.

The incident highlights how quickly misinformation can spread on social media, especially when it involves celebrities and sensitive personal events. In this case, the AI-generated image played on the public's fascination with Salman and Katrina's relationship, leading many to believe the fabricated post was real.

Despite the lack of any direct congratulatory message from Salman Khan, numerous Bollywood celebrities have shared their well wishes for Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal. Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, and Neha Dhupia were among the many who expressed their joy and excitement for the couple.

Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal tied the knot on December 9, 2021. The couple's pregnancy announcement comes after months of speculation, with rumors circulating since earlier this year. Katrina is reportedly in her third trimester, and the baby is expected later this year.
