Singer Neha Kakkar and singer-actor Rohanpreet Singh on Friday morning posted a photo on their respective social media handles showcasing the former cradling a baby bump while Rohanpreet stood behind the much-loved singer holding her as the two posed for a happy picture.
The two captioned the photo 'KhyaalRakhyaKar'.
The photograph went viral within minutes and broke the Internet as netizens concluded that it was a pregnancy announcement by the couple.
Many celebrities congratulated the newlyweds while fans and followers of the couple too took to the comments section to shower the duo with blessings and well-wishes.
However, it turns out it was just publicity stunt the two indulged in to promote their upcoming song 'KhyaalRakhyaKar'.
On Saturday morning Neha and Rohanpreet in co-ordinated posts revealed the poster of the upcoming song and it happens to have the same image of the couple with Neha cradling her baby bump.
This did not go down too well with netizens who trolled and slammed the couple for using 'pregnancy' to publicise their upcoming song.
"Cheap publicity ki bhi koi limit hoti hai sister ye phele he daal dete phele image," wrote a social media user.
"How can you make fun of these things just for publicity... I was a huge fan but if this was just for publicity of the song then shame!" wrote another.
"U guys are stupid to have ur PR firm convince u both to do this... fooling everyone about be pregnant only to launch a stupid song... seriously get a life and a new PR team... ur gonna loose the trust of ur followers," commented yet another Instagram user.
Right before their wedding, the couple had released music video 'NehuDaVyah' and now, the two are gearing up for the release of 'KhyaalRakyaKar' all set to release on December 22.
Neha and Rohanpreet tied the knot on October 24 in an Anand Karaj ceremony which was followed by a Hindu night wedding the same day.
Earlier while talking about how lockdown helped in her love story with Rohanpreet, Neha had told Pinkvilla, "One day during the lockdown, I was sitting idle, and I thought let me try and make a song. My brother and sister already have this talent, and I managed to make 'Nehu Da Vyah'. The lyrics are such that I wanted something like this to materialize for me. I wrote it very optimistically, and I didn't know this would really happen. The boy in the video would be my husband."
While Singh said, "We literally met for the first time on the set of the song we did together - Nehu Ka Vyah and I didn't even realise what she wrote for that song would come true one day. It literally changed my life for the best."
