Bollywood stars Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra surprised their fans with a joyous announcement— they are expecting their first child together. The couple took to social media to share the happy news, instantly sparking excitement among their admirers. However, what caught the internet’s attention was the resurgence of the ‘polka dot theory,’ a viral speculation that celebrities opt for polka-dot outfits before announcing their pregnancies.
The ‘polka dot theory’ and its history
Social media users have been buzzing about Kiara’s previous fashion choices, particularly her appearance in a chic polka-dot dress just two months ago. Fans pointed out how other Bollywood celebrities, such as Anushka Sharma and Kareena Kapoor, had worn similar outfits before revealing their pregnancies. Anushka, for instance, donned a polka-dotted dress in 2020 when she shared the news of expecting her first child.
Kiara’s polka-dot moment
Kiara had shared a stylish picture with Sidharth on Christmas 2024, wearing an elegant black-and-white polka-dot dress. The outfit, featuring a draped design with a small cutout, now seems like a hint fans may have missed.
Fan reactions and viral moments
Following the pregnancy reveal, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit to discuss the theory. One user wrote, “The polka dot theory is real bro 😭😂 it always stays undefeated.” Another commented, “That polka dot dress meme is REAL!” Social media has been flooded with excitement, with many believing in the ‘pattern’ connecting celebrity maternity fashion to their big announcements.
What’s next for Kiara and Sidharth?
While the couple basks in the joy of their upcoming journey into parenthood, Kiara continues to shine in her professional life. She was last seen in Game Changer alongside Ram Charan and is set to appear in Don 3, starring Ranveer Singh.
Sidharth, too, has an exciting lineup of projects, making 2024 a thrilling year for the star couple both personally and professionally. Fans eagerly await more updates from the soon-to-be parents!
