While the media speculations about Gauri and Shah Rukh Khan’s surrogate pregnancy are rife, the star couple has not confirmed the same. But the radiologists’ association of India has asked the state health department to inquire into reports that claim Shah Rukh Khan’s surrogate baby is male.

Although Shah Rukh has not confirmed the pregnancy many media reports say they went the Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao way to add another member to their Khan-daan. Many news reports further claimed that the sex of the unborn was male/ This has not gone down well with the Indian Radiological and Imaging Associations (IRIA) who have filed a complaint to the state health department to find out how Shah Rukh claims to know the gender of the unborn child.

Pre-natal sex determination is illegal in India due to the skewed sex ratio.
