Speculation is swirling around Bollywood star Alia Bhatt after her recent appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2025, with many fans wondering if she is expecting her second child with husband Ranbir Kapoor. Meanwhile, in the K-pop world, BTS fans have learned the reason why the group missed out on a potential concert in Qatar.
Alia Bhatt made a dazzling debut at Cannes, showcasing impeccable style in two stunning outfits. For her first red carpet appearance, she wore a Schiaparelli gown, and later, she chose an Armani Privé gown for the L'Oréal Paris “Lights on Women's Worth” event. While her fashion choices were widely praised, eagle-eyed fans noticed what they believed to be signs of a possible pregnancy. Social media platforms erupted with comments speculating about a second child. One user wrote, "From certain angles, she looks pregnant," while another added, "I think she is pregnant." Many others echoed these sentiments, noting that she was "glowing," a common observation often associated with pregnancy.
Neither Alia nor Ranbir have officially confirmed the rumors. However, past interviews suggest that they are open to expanding their family. In a 2024 interview, Alia expressed her hopes for "more movies, more babies, lots of travel, and just a healthy, happy, simple, quiet, peaceful, full-of-nature life." She also mentioned on Jay Shetty's podcast that they have already picked out a name for a future son, hinting that the possibility of a second child is on their minds. Ranbir has also hinted at wanting more children.
While fans eagerly await an official announcement, Alia is currently focused on her Cannes debut and upcoming professional commitments. Ranbir is busy filming "Love and War," directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Whether the rumors are true or not, Alia Bhatt continues to captivate audiences with her talent and style.
In other news, BTS fans were recently disappointed to learn why the group couldn't perform in Qatar. According to Saad bin Ali Al Kharji, Chairman of the Qatar Tourism Authority, plans to invite BTS for a major performance were scrapped because Jungkook, the group's main vocalist, is currently serving his mandatory military service. "We tried to invite BTS last year as well, but it didn't happen because the main vocalist was serving in the military," Al Kharji revealed.
The news quickly spread among the BTS ARMY, causing frustration and disappointment. Jungkook enlisted in the military in December 2023 to fulfill his mandatory service, which is scheduled to end on June 11, 2025. Other members are scheduled to be discharged around the same time. Jin and J-Hope have already been discharged. Despite the setback, fans are hopeful that Qatar will extend another invitation to BTS once the members have completed their military service and are ready to reunite as a group. The hashtags #BTSinQatar and #JungkookComeback are trending on social media, with fans expressing their desire for a BTS concert in Qatar. Some fans are also suggesting that Jungkook and Jimin might embark on solo tours after completing their military service.
