Four years after their wedding, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal announced they are expecting their first child, with the 42-year-old actor's news sparking a social media discussion on the appropriate age for pregnancy. The debate highlights that while celebrities may normalise later pregnancies, medical professionals advise the best age for a first pregnancy is before 30 due to declining fertility and increased risks of complications. Dr. Rahul Manchanda, Senior Consultant at Delhi's PSRI Hospital, states, "The preferable age to get pregnant for a lady or should I say a couple is between 20 and 30."
