Is she or isn't she pregnant? The gossip mills have been working overtime speculating about Lara Dutta's baby bump for the past couple of months. And finally, the actress agrees to it. The actress-turned-producer is three months pregnant and expecting the baby to arrive by the end of January 2012.
Needless to say, Lara and her husband tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi are on cloud nine. And having completed the first crucial trimester, Lara and hubby flew out to the USA yesterday, to celebrate.

The couple said their wedding vows in a quiet ceremony in Goa in February, this year. After their wedding in February, the couple went on a honeymoon in Paris. However, just three months into their marriage, stories about a rift in their relationship surfaced. Apparently, Mahesh had a problem with Lara being still in touch with her ex-boyfriend Kelly Dorjee. lara, being the headstrong woman that she is,did not like it one bit and made it clear to Mahesh.
Mahesh was earlier married to former model Shvetha Jaishankar for seven years. They divorced in July last year. There were rumours that Mahesh had an extra-marital affair with Lara. Though, they both denied it strongly. Lara maintained that she met Mahesh only after he was separated from his former wife.
Though both Mahesh and Lara put an end to all such rumours, time and again they sprung up until the gossipmongers got Lara's pregnancy to ponder on. Mahesh and Lara have started their own film production company called Beegi Basanti Productions with its maiden venture Chalo Dilli earlier this year.though, the film did not set the cash registers ringing, it garnered a decent review with the critics. Lara has just finished shooting for Don 2 co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra. Now the expecting mommy-to-be will be on a break till January, it seems.
