It seems to be the season of mana Tollywood stars turning fathers. Recently, Allu Arjun posted photographs of him and his pregnant wife Sneha on his social networking newsfeed to announce that a baby is on the way. His colleague NTR Jr is next in line to join the club. Yes. It is reliably learnt that NTR's wife, Lakshmi Pranathi is pregnant creating much excitement in the Nandamuri household.
"Lakshmi is pregnant and the couple is expecting the birth of their first child. The entire family is overjoyed and preparations are underway to welcome the arrival of the newest member of the family," says a source close to the family. Apparently, the couple has been sourcing baby accessories for some time now.
Unconfirmed speculation surrounding Lakshmi Pranathi's pregnancy have been doing the rounds for the last couple of months, but the actor chose to not respond. Recently, when NTR Jr attended producer BVSN Prasad's daughter's wedding in the city along with his wife, the onlookers were talking in hushed tones about Lakshmi's baby bump and began conjecturing.
The NTR family though seems to be in no hurry to make an official confirmation regarding the issue. Almost two years after the couple got hitched in a gala ceremony on May 5, 2011, it looks like NTR Jr is all set to play a father for real.
