Actor Vicky Kaushal on Monday dismissed media reports about wife Katrina Kaif's pregnancy as "speculation", saying they will happily announce whenever they have "good news". Kaushal, who is currently promoting his upcoming comedy Bad Newz, was in Delhi to promote the movie ahead of its Friday release. The film also stars Triptii Dimri and Amy Virk.
"As far as the good news that you spoke about is concerned, we will be very happy to share it with you when we have it. But till then, there is no truth to that, there is only speculation which is coming from the media. So please, enjoy Bad Newz for now, we will share with you when there is time for good news," Kaushal said at a promotional event here.
When the host requested the media to not ask personal questions, the actor quipped, "There is a very good line in the picture, which is 'Don't get personal'." Pregnancy rumours gained prominence when a picture of the couple walking on the streets of London became viral on social media with many fans speculating that Kaif was sporting a baby bump.
Bad Newz revolves around a woman (Dimri) who is carrying twins, but with different fathers, played by Kaushal and Virk. "It feels surreal, it feels magical, I am still in a dream sequence and the dream is still going on and I don't want to wake up." Dimri, 30, who got immense popularity after her role in Animal, said she is glad that people are now revisiting her performance in Laila Majnu. "Every other day there is some or other person that is texting me for Laila Majnu and that is what we act for and I am very grateful that the film got so much love." Dimri said she loves working in drama and comedy, which she hadn't tried until now, was fun but challenging.
Virk, a huge singer-star in Punjab and someone who has also worked in Hindi hits such as Bhuj and 83, said there isn't much difference between the two industries now. "Today, Punjabi films are doing 100 crore which is a very big thing. There is not much difference between working in Bollywood and the Punjabi film industry, the same acting has to be done in both the places," he said.
Directed by Anand Tiwari, Bad Newz has been produced by Amritpal Singh Bindra, Apoorva Mehta and Karan Johar. The film is slated to release on July 19.
