What does the pregnancy announcement photo show?

Right, so the image is monochrome and has that sort of retro polaroid vibe. Katrina is in a white dress, the bump is right there, and Vicky has his hand gently on it. It is not an overly polished studio shot. It feels more personal, which is probably why it is hitting home with fans.

When is Katrina Kaif’s baby due?

Now, the big question everyone is asking is when the baby is due. Word is she is in the third trimester already. Some outlets, like Bollywood Hungama, are saying the due date could be around Diwali, so next month. But, typical for these two, they are keeping the exact details under wraps. That is probably smart as it avoids the media frenzy until the little one is actually here.
