Katrina Kaif, who is counting down the days to welcome her little bundle of joy, has stirred headlines after a media outlet shared private balcony pictures of her without her consent, making Sonakshi Sinha speak out against the outlet for violating privacy.

“This is nothing short of criminal,” the Dabangg actress wrote on social media, reacting sharply to the incident. “What is wrong with you all? Taking pictures of a woman in her own home without her consent and sharing it publicly? You are nothing short of criminals. Shameful.”

Meanwhile, as per source close to the actress, she and her family are trying to protect their privacy during this important time. 

Netizens have also voiced their frustration online and asked the media to respect her personal boundaries.

"How cheap," one of the users wrote, while another commented, "Where's the privacy??? It's her home , y clicking her at her balcony?"

Meanwhile, a third fan commented, "Hv u heard of responsible journalism?? Or a thing called privacy?? Plz read it in the dictionary... before getting into journalism..".

Other comments read, "Let her be.... why invade her privacy", "This is a crime! Police should take action on this person who was taking pic and invade someone privacy."

The photos surfaced while the Tiger star has been keeping herself private before her due date. 

Last month, the couple revealed the pregnancy news in September 2025 via an emotional Instagram post, showing Vicky Kaushal holding the actress’s baby bump.

The post caption reads, “On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude."

Notably, the soon to be parents, who tied the knot in December 2021 in an intimate Rajasthan ceremony attended by close friends, have not publicly commented on the leaked photos yet.
