Bollywood couple kiara advani and Sidharth Malhotra on Friday announced that they are expecting their first child. As soon as the news broke, the internet was flooded with congratulatory messages from fans and celebrities alike. However, amid the celebrations, social media users couldn’t help but revive an interesting fashion theory—the so-called ‘polka dot theory.’
What is 'polka dot theory'
The theory suggests that bollywood celebrities, knowingly or unknowingly, often opt for polka-dot outfits when they are pregnant. The most cited example is anushka Sharma, who wore a polka-dotted dress when she announced her pregnancy in 2020. Similarly, kareena kapoor Khan was frequently seen donning polka prints during her maternity journey, reinforcing the idea.
Kiara Advani wore a polka-dot dress
In Kiara's case, fans pointed out that she had posted a picture two months ago during Christmas 2024, wearing a chic polka-dot dress while posing with Sidharth. The elegant black outfit featured a fitted yet flowy drape design, along with a small triangular cutout in the front. At the time, it was simply seen as a fashionable choice, but in retrospect, netizens now believe it was an early hint at her pregnancy.
Netizens say 'polka dot theory is real'
Social media platforms were abuzz with reactions to the uncanny connection. One X user exclaimed, “The polka dot theory is real bro 😭😂 It always stays undefeated. kiara and Sid are expecting soon 🥺💙.” Another fan wrote, “That polka dot dress meme is REAL!” A third user added, “Polka dots proving their power once again. Congratulations Kiara and Sid!”
Redditors had speculated this two months ago
Interestingly, a Reddit post from two months ago had already speculated about Kiara’s outfit. A user had written, “Wait, kiara is wearing that infamous polka dot dress… my mind is going somewhere rn lol.” Another comment read, “Polka dress 😭😂 IYKYK. Anyways, they look so freaking adorable.” Yet another user humorously noted, “The black polka dot dress reminds me of bollywood pregnancies. They look great together, though!”
Announcing the good news, kiara and Sidharth shared a joint post on Instagram, writing, “The greatest gift of our lives… Coming soon.” The couple shared an image, which shows hands gently holding a pair of white knitted baby booties with delicate ribbon bows.
