In January 2023, Anushka Ranjan and Aditya Seal publicly denied rumours that they were expecting their first child after several reports and social media posts claimed Anushka was pregnant.

Reacting to the speculation, Anushka shared a photo of Aditya resting his head on her lap and jokingly wrote that he was “the only baby” in her life at the moment, adding that they were not pregnant. Aditya reposted the same picture and echoed the message.

The rumours had gained traction after paparazzi accounts shared photos of the couple with claims that they were expecting. Their friend, actress Jasmin Bhasin, also stepped in to clarify that the reports were false.

At the time, Aditya further confirmed in interviews that they were not planning to expand their family in the near future.
