The Khan family has always drawn attention, but this time, it wasn’t Salman Khan in the spotlight—it was his newly-wedded brother Arbaaz Khan and his wife Shura Khan. What was supposed to be a quiet, graceful pregnancy journey for the couple has turned into a firestorm of gossip, raised eyebrows, and family tensions. And somewhere in the middle of it all, Salman Khan himself was left with no choice but to lower his head in public.

A Fairytale Wedding, or So It Seemed

When Arbaaz Khan tied the knot with makeup artist Shura Khan, many were surprised. She wasn’t from the glitzy world of Bollywood, yet she had captured Arbaaz’s heart. The couple looked radiant, hopeful, and eager to begin a new chapter. But beneath the surface, something unsettling was brewing.

The Unexpected Pregnancy Announcement

Within weeks of their marriage, news broke that Shura Khan was pregnant. While fans and followers rushed to congratulate the couple, insiders whispered that the timing felt… off. “Too soon,” some murmured. “Suspiciously fast,” others hinted.

But the real stir wasn’t the pregnancy itself—it was what Shura did next that made even Salman Khan uncomfortable.

Shura’s Bold Baby Shower Publicity Stunt

In a move that shocked both fans and the Khan parivaar, Shura threw an extravagant baby shower at a five-star hotel in Mumbai, inviting media, influencers, and even rival Bollywood personalities. She wore a designer gown, posed deliberately for cameras, and made sure her every word was captured by hungry entertainment portals.

“This was not a private event,” said a guest who attended. “This was a publicity stunt disguised as celebration.”

Salman Khan, known for his reserved nature regarding family matters, was visibly upset. He did attend the event but avoided the cameras. Eyewitnesses claimed he looked tense, as if he was dragged into a circus he didn’t sign up for.

Social Media Backlash and the ‘Embarrassment’ Factor

Shortly after, videos from the baby shower went viral, with Shura speaking on stage about motherhood, fame, and “carrying a Khan legacy.” Trolls wasted no time. Memes flooded the internet. Some accused her of “using the Khan name” to climb the Bollywood ladder. Others questioned her intentions altogether.

Salman, who has spent decades carefully crafting his public image, was now being dragged into the noise. His name trended—not for his films or charity work—but for being a silent witness to Shura’s over-the-top drama.

Did Arbaaz Know?

Sources close to the family revealed that Arbaaz was torn. “He loves Shura, but he’s caught between his wife and his family,” said one insider. “He didn’t expect the pregnancy to become a media show.”

While he continued to support his wife publicly, whispers inside the family grew louder. Some suggested that Salim Khan, the patriarch, advised Arbaaz to handle the matter more discreetly.

Salman’s Private Disapproval

Though Salman hasn’t made any public statements, those close to him say he was furious. Not at the pregnancy, but at how Shura turned it into a PR event. “He believes family matters should stay within the home,” said a longtime friend of the actor. “This kind of spotlight invites trouble.”

His absence from many public functions since the baby shower was seen by many as a silent protest.

A Rift in the Khan Clan?

The Khan family has always portrayed unity. But insiders say that behind the scenes, tensions have started to rise. Some members are wary of Shura’s intentions, feeling she’s brought unnecessary attention and even risk to the family name.

Others defend her, saying she’s simply excited and modern—and doesn’t deserve the backlash. But the damage seems to be done.

Where Do They Go From Here?

As Shura enters the later stages of her pregnancy, she remains active on social media, promoting brands, giving interviews, and showing no signs of slowing down. Arbaaz appears supportive, but his smiles don’t always reach his eyes.

Salman, meanwhile, has chosen silence. But in Bollywood, silence speaks louder than any words.

Fans now wonder: Will the Khan family forgive and move on? Or will this pregnancy leave behind scars far deeper than anyone expected?
